Meet the Parents gets its best moments in the friction between De Niro and Stiller. Their screen personas — the intimidator and the hapless smart guy — are a perfect mismatch, and the spark between them ignite plenty of laughs.

Flat-out hilarious.

Wonderfully funny.

A hilarious hodgepodge of The In-Laws and Annie Hall, in which De Niro gives his best comic performance to date.

Roach … knows to play to the movie’s twin strengths: Stiller and De Niro.

It’s funny. Really funny.
