...film chronicles Meredith’s first encounter with meeting the parents, and like the Ben Stiller movie, there are squeamish scenes aplenty as she fails to capture the hearts of the family Stone. It’s a tortuous ordeal—but Parker’s character is just such a bitch, you understand why the Stone family hates her and seriously wonder why Everett fell for her in the first place...
That film, Kilmer believes, could be the start of his new business model. He has talked to Downey about teaming up on more comedies, like an edgier Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. "I knew Tom Hanks. We were starting in comedies around the same time," he says, sipping his tea at the bar at the Hotel Bel-Air and recalling his mid-'80s roles in Top Secret! and Real Genius.

Both Wilson and Vaughn can do comedy and, even if the best moments showed up in the previews, there are a few gems worth paying for. And as often as Vaughn’s “I’m-shit-crazy-and-yelling-really-loudly” shtick succeeds, you still wonder whether he has some sort of facial tick...
