Meet The Parents. - Review - movie review

Interview, Oct, 2000 by Thelma Adams

Directed by Jay Roach

Did Robert De Niro's therapist tell him to lighten up? These days the increasingly ubiquitous Oscar winner can't seem to purge comedy from his system. He plays the future-father-in-law-from-hell to Ben Stiller's bumbling groom-to-be in Roach's remake of the already forgotten 1992 Emo Phillips flick. Ten Polo is Stiller's soul mate, Blythe Danner is her mom, and De Niro plays straight man to Stiller's schlemiel. What's next for Bob, stand-up?
