Can Zeus bust some ghosts, find a missing cat and face his biggest fear, all in time to go trick or treating?

This one I did find cute and worth the watch... but when it comes to the talking animal movies you are better off watching the buddy movies. I must admit that I liked how this one had a lot of familiar faces in it. The story line while enjoyable enough was highly predictable. I guessed what was going on at the neighbor's house within the first half hour of the film. I would say this one is more suited for the much younger crowd.

Meet the Parents, a review by addicted2dvd

Meet the Parents


My Thoughts:
This is a movie I have always enjoyed. A lot of laughs in it. I think everyone in the movie did good.. I especially enjoyed De Niro in what (in my experience) is a rare comedy role. I also had to get a kick out of the cat on a toilet thing in this movie. I have seen it in other movies where it just didn't work... but I think in this movie then done it well.

It looks like it has been eight years since I have watched this episode.
It is a good episode and it gives the characters some closures. And even though I like the ending overall, I still have the feeling to being left a little unsatisfied:
