Meet the Fockers
2004
Comedy
1h 55m
Now that Greg Focker (Stiller) is "in" with his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack (De Niro) and Dina (Danner) Byrnes, it looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancée, Pam (Polo). But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker (Hoffman and Streisand). The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together-which all adds up to a disastrously funny time of "getting to know you." (Universal)

The excellent cast occasionally elevates the humdrum material to something resembling adequacy, but it's not nearly as funny as it should be.

I'm thinking Robert De Niro must have made some bad investments after Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and Casino and The King of Comedy and Goodfellas and A Bronx Tale and Cape Fear and Brazil and Once Upon a Time in America and The Untouchables and The Deer Hunter and The Godfather Part II because there is no other conceivable reason for him to do this.

A most minimal of plots is saved by the excellent cast, who play off their characters' striking contrasts (to DeNiro's no-fun Jack and Stiller's awkward Greg is added Hoffman's delightfully exuberant Bernie and Streisand's free-spirited Roz) with natural ease and to hilarious results, as the script takes the chaotic tension impressively far (even deep) before the heartwarming payoff (see Jack's "we're family now"). Given the film's length though, the silly son sub-story could have been cut.

Another franchise that should never have happened. Meet the Parents was funny and over-the-top. Great. Now let's not fuck it up. But... they did. Film isn't great, but also not bad. Taken in contrast to the first film, though, not only does this movie blow, but it also smears ass sweat on the first movie, making it uncomfortable to watch. Worst possible way to do a sequel.

A good deal funnier than the terminally subdued first one, thanks to a jolt of energy added by the boisterous Hoffman and Streisand.

That's right, a 2. I would have given it a 1 except I have faith that Hollywood will make another sequal to this stinker of a series. They found the one way to make Meet the Parents even worse, GASP! they added Babs! I hate Babs! I think DeNiro is incredible, normally, but not here. I like Ben Stiller, but not here. Don't waste your tiime on this movie. Don't waste anymore time with this review. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Honestly, isn't the worst comedy I've ever seen, but it's still pretty bad. I don't think I actually laughed at any of the scenes in this movie, but it wasn't a complete disaster due to Streisand and Hoffman still surprisingly being likable.

Having given permission to male nurse Greg Focker to marry his daughter, ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes and his wife travel to Miami to Greg's parents, who this time around are Mr. and Mrs. Focker, who are as different from them as can be. As asked in the first movie, what sort of people name their son Gaylord M. Focker?(IMDB)

Any movie with Ben Stiller acting stupidly hilarious is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Although this one doesn't live up to Meet the Parents, it comes damn close. An excellent comedy to spice up a date or a night on the couch with loved ones.
