Funny the first time, but second viewing upsets the viewer.

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2002)

When I first saw MEET THE PARENTS, I thought it was a riot, I kept on laughing at the continuous comedy of errors. But, when I watched it for a second time, hoping I would laugh as hard as the first time, I was kind of p*ssed off the way Ben Stiller's character is blamed for everything, especially when you know how the film turns out. It is a little annoying.
So, the first time I saw this, I loved it, the second time, I grew to dislike it a little bit. The cast is great, starring Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller of THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, James Rebhorn, Jon Abrahams, and Owen Wilson.
But, I can also relate to the film in many ways, since I know a lot of people that compare to those in the film.
I think the film is a major riot, but also a way to majorly upset someone. If you are the kind of person who finds it funny to blame stuff on innocent people, then you will love this movie. I did the first time and I still enjoy watching it from time to time. Just not for a way to spend free-time. See it when you have nothing better to do. MEET THE PARENTS gets 4/5.
