poorly edited film loses alot of funny moments

Rating: 1/10 (25 March 2001)

You'd think with Emo Philips as Producer that the film would be laugh-tested or have good comedic timing but the film was like flat champagne. Or maybe it was the almost empty movie theater I watched it in. Scenes like the marriage proposal at the beginning, or the car race in the middle... they just didn't hit the mark. Many of us guys have had weird meetings with the parents - this is one more I would avoid, even if you like Ben Stiller or Robert Dinero (who's character is a retired CIA agent - another Hollywood cliche like the Mafia).
