2 fabulous actors

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2001)

When you mix 2 great actors like Robert de Niro and Ben Stiller, and a good well written script, the result could only be a good movie.
Meet the Parents is the story of a guy, Ben Stiller, who wants to marry his girlfriend, Teri Polo, but before that has to meet her parents. And when the girl's dad, Robert de Niro, is an ex-CIA agent, the things can only get complicated.
Robert de Niro is absolutely great, and after the funny Analyze This, he shows again that he can be a great comedian. Ben Stiller is the same really funny guy, playing a character with a name that needs no further explaining: Gaylord Focker.
The movie is good, full of interesting scenes, funny gags and smart dialogue. Still it's a simple comedy with a normal ending. Vote: 7 out of 10.
