Meet The Fockers

Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman

Now that Greg Focker is "in" with his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack and Dina Byrnes, it looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancée, Pam. But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie a...( read more  read more... )nd Roz Focker. 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.

    The 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.

    Better than the first.
  • December 14, 2008
    Such a great movie, it's funny and fun plus Stiller is once again perfect.
  • November 30, 2008
    More silly hilarity in a sequel that builds on the success of its predecessor. Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as the Fockers make a perfect addition to the characters played so well by Robert de Niro and Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents.

    piggybacking the first, more nervous than funny
  • July 5, 2009

A silly good time. full review

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

December 22, 2004
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

December 21, 2004
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

    This movie is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time! The differences between the two families, is just hysterical...Just like night and day!!! This is definitely one movie that you could watch more than once.
