You might feel like you've seen some of these jokes before. |

| Pros |
Robert DeNiro's character, and the style of comedy |
| Cons |
Not long enough. |
| Bottom Line |
This is a film both sexes can enjoy together. It's a classic to be remembered for years to come. |

| Pros |
Funny, smarter than the average dumb/gross-out comedy |
| Cons |
How the heck did There's Something About Mary get the praise this film deserved? |
| Bottom Line |
In a genre of no-talents and stars long-burnt out, this movie rises from the ashes of contemporary comedy, and is an all-around winner |

(10/06/2000, p.2E, Susan Wloszczyna): "...[The filmmakers] cast the perfect foils [Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller]....One can only say amen to the comedy gods for Stiller's desperate stab at saying grace..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
Quotes from the Movie
Quotes from the Movie
"Be nice to this one, okay? I really like him."--Pam (Teri Polo) to her father, Jack (Robert De Niro) <br> "Okay, I'll try."--Jack <br> <br> "The dog is an emotionally shallow animal."--Jack to Greg (Ben Stiller), regarding the superiority of cats over dogs <br> <br> "See, Greg, if you yell at a dog, his ears will go down and his tail will cover his genitals even if he's done nothing wrong. It's very easy to break a dog. But cats make you work for their affection. Cats don't sell out like dogs do."--Jack to Greg <br> <br> "I had no idea you could milk a cat."--Dina (Blythe Danner) to Greg <br> <br> "I'm a patient man. That's what nineteen months in a POW camp will do to you. If I think you're trying to corrupt my firstborn child in any way, I will bring you down, baby! I will bring you down to Chinatown!"--Jack to Greg
