November 9, 2009I never thought I'd be saying this, but here goes: Barbra Streisand is the best part of this movie. Maybe it's been too long since I saw the original (in theatres all those years ago), but I found this to be a formulaic sequel that's just barely enjoyable. Dustin Hoffman is gre...( read more)

August 26, 2009The introduction of Hoffman and Streisand just about save this fairly poor sequel.

July 18, 2009A step to far here, didn't need it really. The first was very funny but this is too forced. De Niro and Stiller are still good but Hoffman and Streisand are pretty lame and the jokes become slightly childish and cliche. Not terrible but nothing special.

January 1, 2009The sequel to Meet the Parents. Ben gets into more bother with Robert when they visit Ben's parents and there's a new addition to the family. Robert is brilliant as the ex CIA agent. Dustin and Barbra are very funny as well.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
For audiences that loved Meet the Parents, the movie is a welcome chance to revisit funny and familiar characters. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
There is some fun in watching the veterans mix it up -- De Niro, who looks like he wants to fade into the scenery, Streisand, who tries to eat it -- but nothing is well developed here. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Playing up the socio-religious rifts of the first film, the sequel reflects the country's current political schisms. full review
December 22, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is pleasant enough, but never quite reaches critical mass as a comedy. full review
December 21, 2004
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
A weary retread without a fraction of the inventiveness that sparked the original. full review
December 21, 2004
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Director Jay Roach gives the film no visual distinction whatsoever but packs on the jokes with tireless bustle. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
From the start the jokes are on a different level than the last one: coarse, aggressive, and poorly timed by director Jay Roach. full review

August 31, 2009I would give it half a star lol, I thought it was terrible compared to Meet The Parents, I liked Gaylords parents but I think it went to far, He tried to make it funny but it just made it stupid. I thought it was a waste of time. And I dont even like Ben Stiller but all the films he has been in appear to be good apart from this one!
