(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   8/10 "Quite simply, this Focker has us laughing out loud frequently and abundantly."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 4.5/5 "I literally found myself gasping for breath during Meet the Parents' most comic moments, wishing I could rewind the film."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 7/10 "An entertaining comic nightmare, but like most bad dreams, it disappears once the lights come up."   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger 3/4 "...highly amusing...at times leaves most of the men in the audience throwing their heads back and realizing exactly how realistic the situation at hand is."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "Nobody plays put-upon quite like Ben Stiller."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth B "It was a well-acted, likable and benignly amusing film."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Follows a rather predictable, well-worn path, but the sheer joy of performing on the actors' parts sells the film as a whole."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman A- "Stiller is brilliant."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 8/10 "A comedy that has likeable, human characters as well as consistent laughs."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B "Contains enough belly-laughs and sly jokes to become one of the bigger crowd-pleasers of the fall."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A hilarious comedy about the ridiculous lenghts a young man goes to in order to prove himself to his girlfriend's family."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Even with Stiller and De Niro, Meet the Parents is an encounter that can be postponed until it's available on video."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Meet the Parents might not be sophisticated comedy, but it's certainly enjoyable."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "A very funny movie that is able to combine a great premise with ideal actors, laugh out scenes with a sentimental touch and over the top sequences with a believable story line."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "Director Jay Roach of the Austin Powers films keeps the pace brisk, and the script by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg ably piles the pratfalls ludicrously high."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 7/10 "Stiller and De Niro play off well against each other, and neither goes too far off the deep end."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Stiller portrays a human accident better than anyone and he definitely knows how to extort laughs and sympathy from his audience"   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 2.5/4 "Es lamentable que el talento de DeNiro se esté desperdiciando en cintas que no terminan de cuajar, por muy taquilleras que éstas sean"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 2/4 "Overbearingly cruel and only modestly funny."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B "While it doesn't quite live up to its potential, it's still a heck of a lot funnier than what usually passes for comedy in these days."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Laura Clifford 8/10 "The gross-out factor is surprisingly low, and the combination of Stiller and De Niro is inspired: No father could be more formidable, no prospective son-in-law better equipped to squirm."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 0 out of -4..+4 "There is an uneven mix of slapstick sequences and human comedy. Certainly the last part of the film feels awkwardly written."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/10 "An unfathomably awful film that will undoubtedly be a smash hit."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/5 "There is a sub-category of comedy ... in which we laugh at the hideously humiliating experiences of some poor sap. If this is your kind of humor, than this is your kind of movie."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/5 "One of those cruel-yet-very-funny crowd pleasers."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Owes about 55 percent of its charm to De Niro, who can be hilarious just sitting there."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 3/4 "Ben Stiller, an excellent comic actor, does some of his best work here, matched up with one of the all-time greats, Robert De Niro."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "An entertaining little outing, but not something that will stay with me."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 7/10 "Ben Stiller is simply fantastic, and this DeNiro kid could be big someday."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 8/10 "It's laugh-out-loud funny."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger "I'm eagerly awaiting a sequel."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3/4 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1
