DVD Reviews of Meet the Parents
DVD Review: Meet The Parents(VHS) better than part 2.
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert De Niro does not disappoint in this goofy comedy, And Ben Stiller doesn't either, I love the cat, it's a funny movie, "It's just a Game Focker!".DVD Review: A modern comedy classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A second DVD release ("Bonus Edition") came out at the end of 2004 to coincide with the theatrical release of the sequel, Meet the Fockers. The only additional material is more outtakes and some short featurettes. The original DVD had plenty of extras, including outtakes, deleted scenes, two commentaries, and more, so don't fall for the double dip. The difference in price is only three bucks, so if you don't own it already, it won't kill you to spring for the "bonus" one. But if you already own the "Collector's Edition" from 2001, there's no point in upgrading.DVD Review: Still good for a laugh
Summary: 4 Stars
Anyone who's felt the stress of meeting the future in-laws for the first time can relate to this movie. Though it's been out for a long time now it's still a fun movie.
Ben Stiller gives a super performance, as expected, and Deniro is outstanding as the now retired and ever stiff and humorless CIA officer who refuses to leave the clandestine life behind. The interaction and play between the two is hilarious. The series of unfortunate events that befall Stiller's character as he meets the in-laws is never ending. If there's a weakness to the movie, it may be that those never ending events get a little over-the-top sometimes, but the hilarity of it all far overshadows that minor point.
If you're looking for a fun and lighthearted comedy one evening, I recommend this one.
DVD Review: Excellent Script
Summary: 5 Stars
Enough has been said reviewing the movie so i won't write another diatribe here... but i will say the script is amazing. the humor is very high-brow, so many will not appreciate the subtle humor because they will not understand or "get" it. Very good movie, Dinero and Stiller play an epic combination in this wonderful film!DVD Review: Meet the parents
Summary: 5 Stars
Is a great movie very funny, the movie was delivered in a timely manner and was shipped just as described and the movie was just as described very happy with my purchase.
Description of Meet the Parents
MALE NURSE GREG FOKKER MEETS HIS GIRLFRIEND'S PARENTS BEFOREPROPOSING, BUT HER SUSPICIOUS FATHER IS EVERY DATE'S WORSTNIGHTMARE.Randy 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
