A good movie

Sure, if you check this movie nowadays, it didn’t grow old very well, especially after watching the abysmal ‘Little Fockers’ . On top of that, we have been witnessing, during the last 15 years, Robert De Niro spending most of his time ruining his fine legacy by showing up in some very underwhelming features. The point is that, back in 2000, the situation was not so dramatic with De Niro and we all thought he had the right to show up in a commercial comedy for once. Personally, I really liked this flick. Indeed, Ben Stiller was pretty good but, above all, Robert De Niro was just really hilarious and he completely stole the show. Concerning the concept, I thought it was actually pretty neat and a good excuse for some pretty good jokes. Unfortunately, during the last 20 minutes, the plot just went way over-the-top preventing the whole thing from becoming a really amazing comedy. Obviously, since it was a box-office hit, of course, they had to come up with a sequel but, surprisingly, it was also quite entertaining as well. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was far from being a masterpiece, I still think it is a decent comedy and it is definitely worth a look.
