The silver screen has seen no shortage of dynamic actor duos over the years, but few if any have brought laughs in a greater quantity and consistency than Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.
Considered two members of the "Frat Pack", the pair may not necessarily have come up together in show business - Stiller was born to two established comedy professionals in New York City, whereas Wilson got his start at the University of Texas with his brothers Luke and Andrew and filmmaker Wes Anderson - but the two united in 1996 for the first of twelve movies together, and here's how Metacritic rates each one.
Little Fockers - 27
The third installment of the Focker trilogy received the worst ratings of the series, as well as any movie featuring Stiller and Wilson. Despite its ratings, Little Fockers (2010) explores a theme that wasn't apparent in the first two movies of the series - parenthood.
The relationship between Greg Focker (Stiller) and his five-year-old twins is paralleled with his relationship with his father-in-law (Robert De Niro), while Focker's wife's ex-fiancé Kevin (Wilson) returns with his usual marriage-jeopardizing antics.
Zoolander 2 - 34
There's no shortage of sequels on the lower-scoring end of this list, and the fact that Zoolander 2 (2016) released 15 years after the original is telling that this sequel was likely never intended.
Years after Derek Zoolander (Stiller) and Hansel (Wilson) have retired from modeling, they reunite at a fashion show where they learn the modeling industry has passed them by. It's not long before they're once again tasked with stopping a deadly worldwide conspiracy, this time in Rome.
Meet The Fockers - 41
While the first chapter of this trilogy has Greg Focker meeting his fiancé Pam's (Teri Polo) parents, the second sees Greg's in-laws meet his parents - Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) and Rozalin Focker (Barbra Streisand) - in Meet the Fockers (2004).
The uptight Byrnes and the eccentric Fockers couldn't contrast more on the surface, creating a hilarious dynamic reminiscent of The Birdcage (1996). In the end, Greg and Pam are married by none other than Kevin, who's become an ordained minister.
Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian - 42
After the box office success of Larry Daley's (Stiller) first stint as a security guard in New York, he ventured to Washington DC's famous museum in his next chapter - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009).
When Jedediah (Wilson) - a cowboy figurine Larry previously befriended - tells him that the magical tablet that bestows life to museum exhibits has been stolen, Larry sets out to again save his friends and the world from an ancient evil.
Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb - 47
Though the third installment of this trilogy showed the worst box office performance, it received better reviews than its immediate predecessor.
Along with a few of the franchise's key characters (Jedediah included), Larry heads across the pond to England to try and find the original source of the tablet's magic after its powers start to fade, making for an exciting and magical international conclusion to the series in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014).
Night At The Museum - 48
The movie that started Larry's relationship with Jedediah and several other loveable museum exhibit characters was also the highest-grossing and most critically successful chapter of the Night at the Museum (2006) franchise.
Larry first becomes the night guard at New York's Natural History Museum out of desperation for a job, but he gets much more than he bargained for when he discovers that an ancient spell brings all the exhibits to life every night, making for some entertaining hijinks.
Starsky & Hutch - 55
Despite earning two Razzie Award nominations, Starsky & Hutch (2004) - the cinematic prequel to the popular 1970s buddy cop television series of the same name - earned generally mixed to positive reviews.
Stiller stars as Starsky, with Wilson as Hutch, as the pair of streetwise cops reluctantly join forces to take down a criminal mastermind (Vince Vaughn). The charming movie features the signature red Ford Gran Torino, along with scene-stealing informant Huggy Bear (Snoop Dogg).
The Cable Guy - 56
The first collaboration between Stiller and Wilson is also the only one that uses neither in a major role. The Cable Guy (1996) follows the odd friendship between a heartbroken architect (Matthew Broderick) and his erratic cable installer (Jim Carrey).
The movie features Stiller as a pair of twins, one of whom murders the other before a televised trial that runs throughout the movie. Wilson plays a man severely beaten by Carrey's character after going on a date with Broderick's character's ex-girlfriend.
Permanent Midnight - 57
By far the most somber movie on this list, Permanent Midnight (1998) is based on the autobiography of Jerry Stahl - a television comedy writer plagued by heroin addiction.
Through flashbacks to his new love interest, Jerry (Stiller) details how he first became a drug addict and befriended fellow addict Nicky (Wilson) after moving to Los Angeles, where he got married and became a writer before losing his job and everything important in his life to addiction.
Zoolander - 61
The first movie truly featuring Stiller and Wilson as the two headliners, Zoolander (2001) is perhaps the best display of the chemistry the duo is capable of in this satire of the fashion and modeling industry.
Zoolander and Hansel are bitter rivals turned allies when evil designer Mugatu (Will Ferrell) sucks Zoolander into an assassination conspiracy in this story full of beautiful people and clothing, quotable one-liners, and jaw-dropping cameos that will leave you asking, "why male models?"
Meet The Parents - 73
This relatable remake of a 1992 low-budget independent comedy was successful enough to spark the two aforementioned sequels in the Meet the Parents (2000) trilogy.
No matter how difficult your in-laws are to get along with, they can't be worse than Greg Focker's future father-in-law - Jack Byrnes. Jack takes every opportunity he can to be as tough as possible on Greg, who repeatedly proves unsuccessful in measuring up to Jack's expectations, causing Jack to urge his daughter to consider rekindling her relationship with her ex-fiancé Kevin.
The Royal Tenenbaums - 76
The most critically successful collaboration between Stiller and Wilson comes courtesy of Wes Anderson, the filmmaker who got his start alongside Wilson in Bottle Rocket (1996).
With an Oscar-nominated script co-written by Anderson and Wilson, The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) tells the story of an estranged patriarch (Gene Hackman) reuniting his large, eccentric family to try and reconcile before his terminal illness kills him. Stiller and Wilson play two important parts in an all-star ensemble cast whose performances will have you laughing, crying, and wanting to hug your family.
