Meet the Parents (2000): **** stars

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2000)

"Meet the Parents" is a hilarious ride through horrible situations. Ben Stiller is great, as always, playing the poor victim of Teri Polo's father. As the movie opens, you know that the movie will be funny. It keeps getting funnier up until the end. DeNiro has tha certain twinkle in his eye that makes him look like a normal father. But underneath he's paranoid. Through the movie was have situations like Stiller taking a lie-detecter test, Stiller losing DeNiro's loved cat, catching Nicole DeHuff's altar on fire and so on. I don't want to spoil the end. "Meet the Parents" is the funniest mover of the year. It's right up there with Airplane! and The Naked Gun.

**Note: If you look closely in the beginning when Teri Polo is teaching her class, you can see Spencer Breslin from this summer's "Disney's The Kid".
