The critics were right: Not funny at all!, 2008-10-12
If you have seen the first movie (Meet the Parents), you can anticipate the story line in this one: Dina (Blythe Danner) and Jack Byrnes (De Niro) finally meet Greg's (Stiller) parents Roz (Streisand) and Bernie Focker (Hoffman). Since the Byrnes' are very uptight, the Fockers must be quite the opposite. Hoffman and Streisand actually did their jobs perfectly and are the highlight of the movie. What spoils everything is, that Greg doesn't know his own parents and acts with surprise to everything they do. Boring. Many of the 'funny' scenes are highly predictable (boring again) or not funny at all. Like showing a middle finger to a one-year old could be funny? Anyway, the baby character could easily be excluded from the film. And the worst character? Definitively Owen Wilson. The audience at the theater went silent at his arrival on the scene. If you have seen Meet the Parents, you will be disappointed with this movie. It simply does not match up. I did not expect intellectual humor (like the hilarious Monty Python's Life of Brian), but the humor in this movie is really on the level of second graders. The critics were right this time.

The laughs are there., 2008-09-02
Meet the Fockers is so much better than Meet the Parents but this sequel has its flaws. The best thing about this particular film is the casting of Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, they are a hoot as a weird and unapologetic couple. Ben Stiller is still annoying and Robert De Niro seems rather bored in this sequel, he probably was forced do it. Good comedy just not that memorable.

Better film than the 1st GOOD, not perfect film, 2008-07-23
I Like this film better than the 1st. br /Why. Adding Dustin Hoffman Barbra Streisand. br / br /I am not a fan of Barbra's but she Dustin were great in their roles to me. Added with DeNiro 3 Oscar winners. br /The 3 of them with Blythe Danner are perfect in their roles. br / br /Teri Polo has a role that is just a watcher of course. br /Now, I am NOT a fan of Ben Stiller. He does his usual routine in this role as he did in the 1st in "There's Something About Mary". Same lying, put out then blows his top role. Wish they could have gotten a better actor for the role. br /And, we MOST DEFINITELY could have done WITHOUT Owen Wilson in both films. br / br /As for the DVD, it is a good package. I like extras this one has the kind I like. Deleted scenes, bloopers, etc. br / br /A BIG MINUS FOR THE DVD, IT HAS THE HORRIBLE LITTLE FLIP OPEN FLAPS ON IT. br / br /Otherwise, you should enjoy the film. br /
