For Mika in Finland, if you think De Niro has never played a clown, you haven't seen "The King of Comedy." I highly recommend it. He will make you want to crawl out of your skin, he is such a geek in that one!
But back to "Meet the Parents." Aside from the fact that Pam doesn't stand up for her man until the very end, which really bugs me, I think this one of the best comedies of the last 10 years, easily. Particularly because they don't resort to the gross-out stuff that virtually every other comedy contains these days. De Niro is the best thing about this film....I think he has great comedic timing. It's definitely a part of my DVD collection.
