There's Something About Bobby

Rating: 9/10 (25 September 2000)

With this and ANALYZE THIS and MIDNIGHT RUN, De Niro proves that he's one of our best comic actors. And MEET THE PARENTS is one of the best comedies ever made. Ben Stiller is great, too, but he's on familiar ground here. It's good to see a funny movie that's character-centered rather than one that relies on dumb and gross sight-gags. The airport scene alone at the end of the movie is worth the price of admission.
