This buoyant, giddy comedy of catastrophe is the funniest film of the year so far, possibly the most amusing mainstream live-action comedy since "There's Something About Mary."
It's a bouncy, loose limbed, ''families do the darnedest things'' sitcom that elicits ungrudging laughs.

Meet the Parents is the kind of Hollywood Comedy that Hollywood WISHES it could make today. First off, almost 18 years later, it's still hysterical. The performances are really, really good, and the story and characters are so real and memorable. If you are looking for a good comedy, check this out!!!
Report
Directed by Jay Roach, who made the "Austin Powers" movies and here shows he can dial down from farce into a comedy of (bad) manners. His movie is funnier because it never tries too hard.
A funny and sometimes substantial movie that in real life would never have a happy ending.
Never before have two such skilled actors been so monstrously squandered in a movie so replete with failed gags and pathetic gaffs.

Meet the Parents is a great comedy for anyone to watch. its very family friendly, perfect amount of humor, and somewhat reminds me of what will happen when I bring home my fiancee for the first time. This movie will definitely make you want to watch the second movie and the acting is pretty great. Since this was the first movie in the series, this particular one is the best one. If you want a good laugh, this is the movie for you.

As per the title, it's all about family. We've all been here. Meet the Parents is meant to be relatable and we love it that way. It's really, really funny.
