Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Rob Blackwelder (857) for SPLICEDWire (872) on 01 Jan 2000

More often than not, the movie's tension gets in the way of its giggles, falling back on its stars' comedy instincts and over-extended running gags…

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Jessica Winter (193) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Jan 2000

Watching Ben get the girl or be seriously injured trying always has its dry, keening pleasures…

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Desson Thomson (1,673) for Washington Post (9,851) on 01 Jan 2000

Roach knows to play to the movie's twin strengths: Stiller and De Niro. Throw these guys together, turn up the intensity…

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 01 Jan 2000

De Niro, once again proving that he understands comedy as well as urban psychoses…

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By John J. Puccio (1,217) for Movie Metropolis (1,779) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 01 Jan 2000

Follows a rather predictable, well-worn path, but the sheer joy of performing on the actors' parts sells the film as a whole…

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 01 Jan 2000

While it doesn't quite live up to its potential, it's still a heck of a lot funnier than what usually passes for comedy in these days…

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)

By Scott Renshaw (514) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Meet the Parents (2000)
