Meet the Parents (2000)

A brilliant film with the awesome Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. 

For a film that’s now 26 years old, it has definitely dated in places, but it’s still really funny and the awkwardness still works brilliantly. 

I’m pretty sure I saw this at the cinema back in 2000 when I was a 20-year-old student. Ben Stiller is perfect at playing someone whose entire life seems to fall apart the harder he tries to make a good impression, while Robert De Niro is terrifying without even really having to do anything. 

I really need to re-watch the rest of the Focker-Verse now. 4/5
