This movie is one of the best comedy DVD's I have seen in a long time. The acting by Ben Stiller is outstanding. He is rated by myself as a very up and coming comedian, especially in film such as this. The story is about a male nurse 'Greg Focker' who wants to marry his girlfriend Pam. They are both in love and he's sure she will say ...  Read the complete review

Recently I found myself in a cultural wasteland of a place with time to kill. I was stuck for an evening at a friends house who didn't read, had little interest in music and no cable TV. As I had an evening to kill whilst they were out, with no books to peruse and no music to play, I resigned myself to the fact that i would have to find something ...  Read the complete review

Meet The Parents is absolutely hilarious - one of the best comedy films I've seen in a while. I first see Meet The Parents on TV then had to go and buy it. The storyline of Meet The Parents is excellent. Ben Stiller plays the role of a male nurse (Greg Focker), who has fallen in love. He is then forced into meeting up with his ...  Read the complete review

Male nurse Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is poised to propose to his girlfriend Pam (Teri Polo) during a weekend stay at her parents’ home. But there’s a catch…he needs to ask her father first. Alas, the fur flies as Jack Byrnes, Pam’s cat-crazy, ex-CIA father, played hysterically by Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, takes ...  Read the complete review

This movie is not the type of movie that will have you in snitches minute after minute but will have you in an awful lot of pain once a hilarious situation does arrive! The movie focuses on Ben Stiller's character, aptly named Greg Focker! and his first meeting with his fiancé?s family. The main obstacle in Greg's way is the future ...  Read the complete review

I thought that this movie was hilariously funny. A really amazing comedy. I watched it with my family and we were all giggling all the way through. We were even laughing after it had finished when we thought back about some of the things in the movie. It is definately a movie i would go out and buy, just to watch it over and over again. The ...  Read the complete review

The signs weren't too good - Ben Stiller as the main lead, Robert De Niro in his new found tough guy/funny guy mode and a character by the name of Gay Focker - do we really need that sort of thing, tsk, tsk, tsk, etc - now this is going to either be interesting or pretty dire... Well, I'll come back to which later, but for the ...  Read the complete review

When mummy brought home a rented video for the family to watch as she often does and after I had taken a peak at the Film title, I was slightly disappointed to learn that we would be watching 'Meet the Parents' and not say Fight Club or just something more significant. I thought it would just be one of those bad films that you watch merely ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes you look at a movie trailer and think..hmmm...that looks a bit average. That’s how I felt about Meet The Parents but I was pleasantly surprised. Directed by Jay Roach (responsible for the Austin Powers shenanigans) and starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, this film is a charming, funny slap-stick affair reflecting on the ...  Read the complete review

One of the funniest scenes in Annie Hall was Alvy Singer's visit to the Hall home, where dinner with Annie's WASPy family was an exercise in anxiety. "A real Jew," in the definition of Grammy Hall, Alvy endured his own feelings of fish-out-of-water inadequacy as well as the very real madness of the Hall family. Meet the ...  Read the complete review

If you want to watch a very good comedy them go and rent this film out, you won?t regret it. Having watched it for the first time at a friend?s house I was very impressed by the movie. This is an exceptionally funny film directed by Jay Roach-the guy behind Austin Power like ?Me Myself and Irene? there?s a guy Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) ...  Read the complete review

When watching this film I guessed it would be funny because it has Ben Stiller in it and after his performance in There's Something About Mary he definitely made me laugh. As suspected I was right he does do a great part in this film very funny but so do the other characters. So this film is about a guy called Greg Focker, when I ...  Read the complete review

"Meet the Parents" plays pretty much like one of these Chevy Chase Vacation-movies, in which the comedian plays a lovely father who just tries to darn hard to create the mother of all vacations. Planning everything, even the fun, he removes every chance at spontaneity, and eventually manages to accomplish quite the opposite of what he ...  Read the complete review

I met my boyfriend’s parents for the first time a couple of weeks ago they were only here for about 10 minutes and yet still they managed to ask me nasty questions like “Isn’t it much better living in Wales than England?” after I had squirmed out of this saying it is nice to live by the sea, he asked “and don’t ...  Read the complete review

Why must you punish me, movie gods? I worship at your temple at least once a month, and more often I devote myself to you in the week. I offer forth popcorn to thy sacred carpet, place my extra large Pepsi in thy holy cup holder, and even refrain from using my mobile phone in your hallowed space. Yet one evening, I decide to pay homage to Saint De ...  Read the complete review

This has to be the most hilarious film out on video this year,I haven’t laughed so much in ages, in brought tears to my eyes and my belly ached. So many opinions have been written on this fantastic film, and I can see why every body is talking about it. It is a comedy romance and the title says it all. The performances from the actors are ...  Read the complete review

I know its a little late in the day to be reviewing this film, it is long gone from the cinema, and sadly did quite well. It has received reviews of a frankly staggeringly generous nature, and I am sickened to hear much of the praise it has received. This film is frankly abismal! I won't beat around the bush. I have had ...  Read the complete review

Randy Newman's opening song, "A Fool in Love", perfectly sets up the scenario of Meet the Parents: "Show me a man who is gentle and kind and I'll show you a loser". Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is the fool in love. Just as he's about to propose to his girlfriend Pam (Teri Polo), he learns that her sister's fiancé ...  Read the complete review
