Meet The Parents (2000) 9/10

Starring : Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner
Director : Jay Roach
Running Time : 103 mins

When Pam Byrnes (Polo) brings her new fiancee Greg Focker (Stiller) home to meet her parents, her father Jack (De Niro) takes an instant disliking to him for seemingly no reason, but soon reasons come flying his way thick and fast as Greg, though trying to fit in, finds himself becoming increasingly ostrocised by the family due to a series of mistakes and misunderstandings.

Simply put this is one of the best slapstick comedies of recent years, with wonderful performances by all involved. De Niro is genuinely scary as the parent you'd never want to meet, and Stiller's bumbling inneptitude is frighteningly realistic without going so over the top as to become a caricature of itself. This is definitely a movie that everyone should have seen, as well as the almost as good though more over the top sequel.
