Anyone looking forward to this film?


Will this movie be another bomb for Ben Stiller?

I have never seen the first one, and have no plans on seing this one. Just seeing Barbara make me want to I usualy like Ben Stiler's stupid comedies.

I'm not looking forward to it. I probably won't even catch it as a rental.

I saw the first one and didn't like it. I just never understood why it was such a hit. Obviously I was missing something because a lot of people really liked it.

I will see it if someone, other than me, pays for the ticket.

Not a must see for me, but I would like to see it.

I liked the first one a lot and i was very excited about this one......until i saw the trailer.

FiveO

I'll go see it.

Loved the first one.

I enjoyed the first film, but the trailers make this sequel look like total shit.

Poor Ben Stiller. Numerous films released this year, and he's only had one solid film (Dodgeball) out of all of them.

[I don't count his cameo in Anchorman, because that was an actual good movie.]

I wanted to see this until I heard that Barbara Streisand was a member of the cast. I think they made a major mistake - they should have used Bette Midler instead.

Are comedy sequels ever any good?

Yes.

I doubt it.

Expect big things.

Huge fan of MTP and will end up seeing the sequel regardless of what I hear about it beforehand. MTP was one of the greatest displays of a guy getting his balls busted I've ever seen in a movie.

Yeah. Meet the Parents was a HUGE hit, and expect this one to do very well. Plus Ben Stiller does not equal bomb. He's had what, 4 films come out this year so far, and 3 of them have been big hits. Starsky and Along Came Polly both cracked over 80 million, and Dodgeball cleared 100. only Envy bomed. Really Stiller can be hit and miss, though this year he's been hitting a lot.

But this movie...it'll make a ton, like 150 million or something. Why? Beats me, but audiences loved the first one and seem to be looking forward to this.

While Along Came Polly (which happened to be one of the worst reviewed films of the year) and Starsky and Hutch made a profit; I believe them both to be two of the worst films of the year. Don't even get me started on Envy (which happened to be THE WORST reviewed film of the year).

You know what Ben Stiller needs to do to stop being in shitty movies? HE NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING THE STRAIGHT MAN. Sure, it worked before; but it's not working anymore. If he's going to continue comedies, he needs to be more "wacky" as it worked for Zoolander, Heavyweights, Dodgeball OR he can try his luck at drama again (Permanent Midnight).

Well, I agree with you that those two sucked, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a box office draw. If anything, it shows he's got starpower. Having your great film make a lot of money says a lot, but when you can have shitty movies make lots of money, it definately does a lot to saying that you're a pretty popular star. of course, I'm speaking in purely commercial sense here. The only thing in both of those movies that he did which made me laugh was his "do it" bit in starsky. Otherwise, yeah, him playing the straight man is getting REALLY old. he's a particularly obnoxious straight man too, and can be very funny in more offbeat roles. But, doesn't change his successes noentheless.

Michael Corvin

I'll take Along Came Polly & Starsky over that crapfest of a film called Zoolander. I'll give you the fact that he played someone other than the straight man, but damn it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. And what is wrong with playing the straight man? Look at Tom Hanks. Last I checked he has made a tidy profit doing the exact same thing. People just don't like the fact that Stiller is what is popular right now.

Matthew Chmiel

Hey, I love Stiller; but Along Came Polly and Starsky and Hutch were not funny and completely unoriginal. Now people either love or hate Zoolander, but at least it was original nevertheless.

not too keen on barb being there imo the perfect parents would be Estelle Harris and Jerry Stiller.

I think the first one was a hit because people could relate with the more conservative-oriented parents and because of Owen Wilson. The 2nd one takes the opposite approach of having Ben's parents being much more liberal, which could serve as a hilarious contrast to De Niro's family but we'll have to see how this movie takes it.

Matthew Chmiel

Question One: Owen Wilson was a big star when Meet The Parents came out?
Question Two: Owen Wilson is a big star?

PopcornTreeCt

Question One: Will you start making posts that make sense?

Robert Denero is in it. thats enough for me
