MEET THE PARENTS
If
you've ever had to meet your significant other's parental units, you know
it's a frightening experience. You want them to like you. They want to
like you. But there's always that one joker - the dad from hell who's
gonna put you in his cross hairs and keep you there until you mess up.
Now,
poor Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is head over heels with his girlfriend
Pam (Teri Polo), and the guy's ready to pop the big question. When his
attempt to propose is messed up by news that Pam's younger sister is getting
married, Greg realizes that the key to Pam lies with her fiercely protective
father, Jack (Robert DeNiro). That's when it gets good. Real good. Stiller
is perfect as the overachiever who makes a mess out of everything and
DeNiro's trademark stinky face grin is put to good use in this role. Romantics
everywhere will get a kick out of this light but tasty comedy. Rating
