I also rented "Meet the PArents" last night, which my family was anticipating with great relish. Now, I like Ben Stiller a lot, and have a healthy respect for Robert DiNiro, and I even like that Owen fella (who was HILARIOUS in Shanghai Noon), but I though this film lacked energy, like everyone was just sleepwalking through their roles. Stiller and DiNiro had absolutely NO chemistry. The outtake/blooper reel says it all, they just didn't seem to care. The story was pretty weak, the only thing that saved it was the airport scene, and even THAT wasn't thrilling.

Rent it if you love Stiller or DiNiro, avoid it if you don't. Wait, if you love Stiller or DiNiro, you'll be very disappointed. Maybe just everybody should avoid this film.
