Maybe there's something I'm missing. Everyone seems to like this and think it's hilarious. I can barely remember even chuckling at this film and I think it's just lame.

Fantastic comedy with some great uncomfortable moments which while cringeworthy for poor gaylord are hilarious.

De niro is perfect as the overbearing father in law. terrifying despite a very silly obsession with his cat this is his best comedic role. Stiller is good as the unfortunate put upon greg who suffers an incredible amount of hard luck and you feel for him constantly during this. There's no way you can blame him for the volleyball incident, poor get

Sadly its been soured somewhat down the years by the third film which is an incredibly lazy effort that is utterly devoid of anything that made this good. I didn't mind the sequel as i thought Hoffman and Streisand were very good in it and i'd quite happily watch it again.

So ignoring future efforts this is still very funny and i was quite happy when this popped up on T.V tonight

Far more enjoyable than actually meeting the parents.

It's a slow burner, but as soon as the parents are met, the film kicks off.

Director Jay Roach uses awkward pauses and some brilliantly far-fetched comical situations to create a near perfect blend of visual and practical humour. The script is brilliant. Every joke is set up beautifully. But, it's the relationship and acting talents of Stiller and De Niro that make Meet the Parents brilliant.

This is a masterclass in comedy.

The 22nd Funniest Film Ever.

This is a trilogy that gets a very bad name and, for me, it's difficult to know why. Meet The Parents is an inoffensive and actually quite amusing movie, in which Ben Stiller does the kind of manic rage he does very well and Robert De Niro has an awful lot of fun.

It was never going to win any prizes for originality as the plot of "slightly hapless bloke has to impress his girlfriend's father... hilarity ensues" is hardly groundbreaking, but that doesn't matter. It serves as a worthwhile vehicle for Ben Stiller to do what he does best.

And, in short, it's bloody entertaining.

Unlikeable protagonist and flat, awkward comedy does not a funny movie make.

This is situational comedy at it's best. The spots that Stiller gets into are totally embarrassing and hilarious. De Niro plays a complete jerk off and makes us chuckle even when he is serious.

It is just impossible not to laugh,when you watch this. Loved every moment of it.

Not sure why I didn't review this one first.

Still one of the most satisfying of the so called "frat pack" generation comedies. The pairing of Stiller and DeNiro create laughs I don't have to feel guilty to like.

Ben Stiller is tolerable.

Excelente.

One of the few recent movies to make me laugh out loud multiple times.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Pretty solid comedy, but it always seems less funny whenever I watch it again to what I remembered. A fantastic cast. Stiller does what he does best and De Niro is great as the crazy father. And why doesn't Teri Polo do more movies? She is so adorable, it's a crime she really hasn't done much besides these films. Even Wilson is funny.

Some of the scenes are great, the volleyball scene is always my favorite. And that cat just steals the show!
