Meet the Parents (DVD, 2004, Widescreen)

Jay Roach, Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller|Theatrical release: 2000 | Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

MEET THE PARENTS stars Ben Stiller as the unfortunately named Greg Focker, a neurotic nurse intent on marrying his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo). But when the couple visits Pam's family home for her sister's wedding, he must first win the approval of her father, Jack (Robert De Niro), a protective ex-CIA agent. Before long, the awkward Greg and the suspicious Jack go head-to-head, resulting in hilarious scenes that feature a lie detector test, a suburban car chase, a toilet-trained cat, and a mean game of water volleyball. As the misunderstandings and mistakes reach an almost nightmarish peak, it seems as though Greg may never win over Pam's unflinching guardian. Featuring the inspired pairing of Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller (and an excellent appearance by Owen Wilson), director Jay Roach's clever comedy exemplifies every man's worst fears about courtship. When things for Stiller's character get bad, they just continue to get worse, culminating in a ridiculously funny airport scene. In the tradition of ANNIE HALL and FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, MEET THE PARENTS is an intelligent yet slapstick comedy about the eccentricities of the American family.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"...MEET THE PARENTS presents Mr. De Niro as any man's worst nightmare....A singular achievement."
New York Times - Elvis Mitchell (10/06/2000)

"...[The filmmakers] cast the perfect foils [Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller]....One can only say amen to the comedy gods for Stiller's desperate stab at saying grace..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna (10/06/2000)

"...The casting is inspired, leading with [Stiller]....It goes down like a flute of Champagne, leaving an aftertaste of giggles..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/06/2000)

"...Painfully funny and funnily painful, MEET THE PARENTS is top drawer, grown-up comedy. A date movie with teeth..."
Total Film - Ceri Thomas (01/01/2000)

"...A well-executed mainstream comedy....[With] an acute, insightful commentary..."
Sight and Sound - Danny Leigh (01/01/2001)

"...De Niro gives his best comic performance to date....Owen Wilson is a merry standout..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (10/26/2000)

"...This buoyant, giddy comedy of catastrophe is the funniest film of the year so far....MEET THE PARENTS is finely cast and always outrageous..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/06/2000)

"...Ben Stiller has a good line in embarrassment and chagrin. His chiseled face looks so earnest, so willing to please, and turn incredulous as the world conspires against him..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/06/2000)

Another enjoyable film by Ben Stiller. I never like the cursing in any movie, but his themes are very funny. The quality of the tape was very good and I have no complaints about that. Thanks.

"Great Comedy!"

 | Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller star in Jay Roach's
2000 comedy. A man spends the weekend at his
girlfriend's parents house and things go wrong for
him. This is a great film and Robert is terrific as
the father-in-law from hell. This dvd has good
picture and sound plus neat extras. I highly
recommend this.

The actors were excellent the plot was average not very funny
The second film Meet the Fockers was much better and we laughed too much
They sent it very quickly but you can get it from Cyprus with the same price

Great :)

Product was exactly as it was described. Product was a great movie, and always gets quite a few laughs out of classic comedy with Robert Deniro. :)
