A good movie

Honestly, it is rather difficult to judge to this movie 10 years later. Indeed, after all these years, especially after the very lame 3rd installment, it seems hard to believe that this first sequel was actually pretty good and quite enjoyable. Indeed, in fact, it all started with ‘Meet the Parents’. Back then, Robert de Niro already started to throw his amazing legacy away by showing up in some underwhelming features but, at least, those movies were watchable and, from the few comedies he has made, this one definitely worked. Hell, it worked so well, they pretty much remade the whole thing again with ‘Shrek 2’, again with some tremendous success. For the sequel, they didn’t take any risks and they pretty much took the same formula but they added some new characters played by such big stars like Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand (for Streisand, it was her first movie in almost a decade). Obviously, it remains some really low-brow entertainment but, in this genre, it was actually quite fun and I actually liked the damned thing. To conclude, even if it didn’t grow old very well, I still think it is a decent comedy and I think it is worth a look but don’t expect anything amazing before watching this movie.
