Great Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2000)

It had been a long time since I have seen a comedy; however, Meet the Parents was well-worth the wait. Robert DeNiro, who is one of my all-time favorite actors, is brilliant as Jack Byrnes. I felt that his performance for a comedy was even better than his role in Midnight Run. Ben Stiller was also excellent as the guy who has everything possibly bad happen to him. Terri Polo, Blythe Danner, and James Rebhorn are solid in supporting roles, but it is Owen Wilson that really shines. Keep an eye on him--because he will be a star. A lot of people have been badmouthing this movie, but I feel that it was a really well-written and acted movie. I think some people were expecting too much or are hard to please. If you are a big fan of Stiller and/or DeNiro you must see this movie. I feel that this movie is a must-see anyway. 10 out of 10.
