What it does is pile on the laughs, one after another, without resorting to stupid gross out humor. The Farrelly brothers have yet to learn that toilet jokes and nasty visual gags are becoming a tired genre and I only hope that more movies follow in Meet The Parents footsteps. If you haven t had the chance to check out this film, do yourself a favor and do so, you ll thank me later. Simply put, it s a fun and entertaining romp from start to finish. The print used in the DVD is virtually flawless with only just the slightest hints of grain.
Colors are extremely vivid with no signs of over saturation.
It s a great looking movie that s presented in widescreen anamorphic. Despite that, it s not exactly aggressive and the surround channels are used sparingly at best. For a comedy like this, however, it s completely understandable. Listening to both tracks, I noticed lightly more bass in the DTS track but they were pretty much on par. The DVD includes 2 commentary tracks, one featuring director Jay Roach and editor Jon Poll and another with the director, De Niro, Stiller and producer Jane Rosenthal.
