One of, if not, the funniest movies of 2000!

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2001)

"Meet the Parents" was a hilarious movie. One of the reasons is because it was well casted. Ben Stiller, everything bad happens to him, he's intimidated and insulted constantly: is that not what you think of when you think of Ben Stiller, in movies like "There's Something About Mary." Robert Deniro, mysterious, seemingly conniving, an over-all sense of intimidation and violence: is that also not what you think of when you hear his name.
If you like movies where bad things constantly happen to someone, like in "The Big Lebowski," you'll like this movie. This movie is full of great scenes as well as great lines. Greg Focker has to be the most unlucky character in movie history. All this bad stuff happens to him although he's completely innocent. And the movies not just a bunch of situations with bad stuff happening to Ben Stiller, it has a good ending that ties together the whole movie and makes all the bad stuff worth while.
This is a great date movie if you're sick of all that genuine romance stuff! Enjoy!
