DVD Reviews of Meet the Parents
DVD Review: It's A Hoot
Summary: 4 Stars
I am one of those who is rather late getting around to watching this show. It is very funny and was worth the wait.
It features Ben Stiller as Gaylord 'Greg' Fokker and Teri Polo as his fiancee, Pam Byrnes. Although they have been together for awhile, he has not met his future in laws. This movie centers around their trip to do just that.
Robert DeNiro stars as father-in-law to be Jack Byrnes and Blythe Danner is Dina, his wife. Byrnes is a formidable character and a nightmare for any potential son-in-law. He thinks no one is good enough for his baby and Fokker is certainly no exception. The dynamics between these two are priceless. DeNiro really steals the show.
This is full of laughs from start to finish. It is a good time.
DVD Review: Love this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are really good in this movie. Its funny and Robert DeNiro plays a great overbearing father. DVD Review: Pretty bad.
Summary: 2 Stars
Meet the Parents starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller is not that funny or original. Blythe Danner is pretty good in this but Teri Polo is one horrible actress, she's so lame and wooden. I have never been a Stiller fan but his chemistry with De Niro makes this movie not so dreadful. I don't why but I saw the sequel to this film a few years ago I enjoyed that one more than this. The jokes are somewhat crude but if you like those kind of comdies than this film is for you.DVD Review: Decent film
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoy this film & it's follow up "Meet the Fockers". Certainly NOT the best film ever made-far from it. Enjoyable. I am NOT a fan of Ben Stiller's. This is 1 of the 4 films I like where he is in a starring role. The other 2 "Night at the Museum" & "There's Something About Mary" HE BASICALLY PLAYED THE SAME ROLE IN ALL 3 FILMS. A nobody reacting to things going on around him & overreacting.
I actually like the follow up film more than the original. Another negative of the original: Owen Wilson Only got to see him briefly in the 2cd film.
Randy Newman's same old music-we've heard in films over the years & they all sound the same.
Good NOT GREAT extras on the DVD package.
Hard to feel for Stiller's character in either film when his character lies all the time.
The speeding to get back to Jack's (DeNiro's) house because of the Jinx? the cat lost bit. WHERE WAS THE NEEDED REACTION FROM THE OTHER CHARACTERS ABOUT GREG SPEEDING & BEING UNSAFE?
DVD Review: Hilarious family movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
Ben Stiller stars as a male nurse. Already awkward. His goal is to propose to his girlfriend Pam. Meanwhile he's going to be going to her parents house to ask their approval. It's going to be alot harder than he thought. Robert De Niro stars as Pam's dad. He's an ex-CIA agent who is always "watching your every move". Everything goes wrong for poor Greg Focker. (Stiller) I won't give too much away as this is truly a hilarious film for the whole family to enjoy!
I enjoyed watching this movie. This is most definitely a keeper for any Ben Stiller fan!
Description of Meet the Parents
Male nurse greg fokker meets his girlfriends parents before proposing but her suspicious father is every dates worst nightmare. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 07/24/2007 Starring: Robert Deniro Ben Stiller Run time: 108 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Jay RoachRandy Newman's opening song, "A Fool in Love," perfectly sets up the movie that follows. The lyrics begin, "Show me a man who is gentle and kind, and I'll show you a loser," before praising the man who takes what he wants. Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is the fool in love in Meet the Parents. Just as he's about to propose to his girlfriend Pam (Teri Polo), he learns that her sister's fianc? asked their father, Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), for permission to marry. Now he feels the need to do the same thing. When Greg meets Jack, he is so desperate to be liked that he makes up stories and kisses ass rather than having the courage of his convictions. It doesn't take an elite member of the CIA to see right through Greg, but that's precisely what Jack is. Directed by Jay Roach (the Austin Powers movies), Meet the Parents is an incredibly well-crafted comedy that stands in nice opposition to, say, the sloppy extremes of the Farrelly brothers. Stiller is great at playing up the uncomfortable comedy of errors, balancing just the right amount of selfishness and self-deprecating humor, while De Niro's Jack is funny as the hard-ass father who just wants a few straight answers from the kid. What makes the Jack character all the funnier is Blythe Danner as his wife, the Gracie to his George Burns, who is the true heart of the movie. Oh, and Owen Wilson turns in yet another terrific comic performance as Pam's ex-fianc?. --Andy Spletzer
