Robert de Niro shines in this movie as the update Dad, The sign of a true actor is the ability to do comedy

Kinda funny in one or two places but mostly just cringey, failing humour. DeNiro is good, of course. I think this the peak of this series, though I'm yet to see the Little Fockers.

An unusually funny film considering the gags are quite childish.

Despite being quite domestic Meet the Parents isn't at all bad. It has that awkward humour emphasised by its context.

So, SO cringe-making. Almost unbearable to watch at times. The characters are brilliantly believable and it has some great parts. Ben Stiller plays pretty much the same character he always does.

This was the kind of movie you can see on a plane. It is not that funny or original, but one of the "safe" movies that hollywood puts out every once in a while.

I can say that I've never been a crazed drooling lunatic over Ben Stiller. This movie provides great justification to that statement. It's alright.

It's still funny, and quotable, but watching it all these years later, the formula does feel a bit tired how everything that can go wrong, does, repeatedly. And the other family characters other than the mom and girlfriend are all pretty terrible to Ben Stiller's character.

Ben Stiller is a very passive, pathetic character here, without his classic moments of triumph.

Mostly tedious and devoid of energy. Owen Wilson lends a spark to the proceedings, but most of the time we have two talented actors, and they're both playing the straight man.

Endlessly funny, if a little obvious. Sandler at his best.

Ben Stiller is a moron. Robert DeNiro was high when signing onto this role... This film is NOT funny or witty. It is dumb humor that leaves the door wide open for other dumb crap like Knocked Up to come out (I actually kind of liked Knocked Up to be honest but it makes a good example). Either way, screw this movie, Ben Stiller, all the sequels, and anything else I may have forgotten about this crap-feast of a film.
