Meet the Parents

FIRST COMES LOVE. THEN COMES THE INTERROGATION.

meettheparentsGreg Focker (Ben Stiller) is set to meet his fiancĆ©e’s (Teri Polo) parents for the first time, but trying to impress her father (Robert De Niro) is no cakewalk.Ā A box-office smash where everything that can go wrong for Stiller’s character does; that always seems to be a recipe for success in his films. Stiller’s great and De Niro is quite effective as the conservative control-freak in-law with a career in theĀ CIA. The concept is a good set-up for a comedy… but too few sequences are genuinely funny. There’s something wrong when the best gag in the movie is Greg’s last name.

Quote:Ā ā€œYeah, you gave me the wrong suitcase. Uh-huh. Yes, it’s a black Samsonite. Uh-huh. Ok, well don’t you think that the Samsonite people, in some crazy scheme in order to make a profit, made more than one black suitcase?ā€ (Stiller, talking on the phone to the airline)
