Derivative

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2002)

Derivative! Meet the Parents is quite boring, there's nothing knew here to enjoy. The story is, obviously, very predictable!
The film never attempts to go that one step further with the jokes, they sort of fall flat.
De Niro does his job as does everyone else, but don't expect anything special.
The direction is safe, the screenplay is boring and the music is forgettable.
Overall, a derivative and boring picture - I expected much more!
