    Not the worst rom-com of the 2000s. I miss them. But in 2023, I’m worried about another question: is this still racism or progressive cinema?

    A comedy in the spirit of "meet the parents", inferior to it only in the humor department. Stiller’s jokes are better. The moral of the film is that true happiness is above cliches and prejudices. But I liked the idea that declaring tolerance and putting it into practice are not the same thing. Like

    A truly funny and unpretentious comedy. We’ve certainly seen a similar plot on screen many times before. A hilarious combination of good comedy and melodrama.
