Meet the Parents

I've been fighting a terrible sore throat and cold all week and bored... and tired... and in an attempt to cheer up, i was on the hunt on Netflix for a tasteful comedy.

Ben Stiller kept me and 'R' in splits through-out the length of the movie. If you video-taped us, we would be captured laughing out aloud or grinning as the "drama" unfolded. It was like being at a family re-union and watching the lively, exuberant sparks fly.

I was watching good-hearted Greg, delightfully horrified and mouth agape, for his next faux-pas. Robert De Niro played the suspicious father perfectly...in fact, one could not enjoy this movie without such a perfect performance from the irritated father.

Looking forward to watching the two film sequels - Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers, sometime in the future.

Everthing that can go wrong, goes wrong in this side-splitting comical story. So, if you find yourself powerless on a cold, blue... gloomy, dreary day...expect to snap out of it in merriment. It worked for me!

If you care for my prescription, here it is: Laughter is by definition healthy, so heal through laughter.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
~W. H. Auden
