Star-driven comedy at times offensive and funny.

What gives the film its special kick is the match of Stiller and De Niro.

Astutely observed, subtly played and consistently hilarious...

Packed with cringe-worthy moments from beginning to end, Jay Roach's comedy is for anyone who has ever endured a weekend in the company of potential in-laws.
June 04, 2001
A hilarious hodgepodge of The In-Laws and Annie Hall, in which De Niro gives his best comic performance to date.

Alas, poor Focker. He can't help himself. And we can't help ourselves from falling about, equally helpless, at this superbly antic movie.

Meet the Parents is a one- -- well, maybe two- -- joke idea that starts out goofy and fun, but soon runs out of verbal or visual ammunition.

When the script puts its faith in the audience, allowing us to find the laughs on our own, the film is irresistible, a bright lark. Yet when the writers panic, upping the antic volume and shifting into crazed sitcom gear, the lark stops.

...large swaths of the proceedings feel as though they'd be more at home within a garden-variety sitcom.

Owes about 55 percent of its charm to De Niro, who can be hilarious just sitting there.

Scenes that should have been uproarious are weaker than many of the movie's smaller moments, whose everyday humor isn't specific to the plot or characters.

Nobody plays put-upon quite like Ben Stiller.
