I'd give it a B- / B.
i read your post, i just didn't want to quote the whole thing.

anyway, thanks for your critique. i had a friend of mine tell me pretty much all the same things you said after seeing it.

i'm going to see it this week, so i'm probably going to enter the theater with different thoughts and expectations than i was originally. we'll see.

Meet the Parents (2000)

Yeah. Like I've said before, one of my big-time guilty pleasures.

I'm pretty sure some of the blood (if not all of it) was CGI. It's a very fake, fake, fake red. As if they were using a red fingerpaint. It doesn't look real, at all.
I think this had a LOT less to do with it being CGI and a big budget film than it did with being a Tim Burton film. The almost cartoon-like visuals really fit his style and to be honest, knowing his films, I didn't expect gritty realism. Anyway, I loved the movie personally, thought it was better than any previous incarnation of the story.

Barely funny. A few chuckles here and there, but that's it.
