Meet the Parents

so cringe it’s painful

A masterclass in escalation from the very beginning to the very end. The consistent tone, awkward comedy, saturated characters, and unique relatability. It's definitely from its time. The story, expectedly but unpredictably, gets worse and worse and worse, and somehow worse. Poor Focker... You can't help but feel for him. Top-notch casting, especially with Stiller. I thought the PG rating would do harm, but oddly enough, the film benefits from it. All that and Jinx, of course.

Even focking better🔥

de niro can do no wrong

Pretty smarty written, funny and awkward. Really makes you laugh and cringe at the same time perfectly.

My score: 7/10

4/5
