Critic Reviews

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    Very often vulgar and tasteless, and though there are some unexpected bursts of humor and even charm in the proceedings, it's light years away from Chekhov.

  • (CNN.com) Paul Clinton, CNN.com

    [Hoffman and Streisand] make a wonderful team, but it's too bad the material isn't fresher and more worth their time and yours.

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    A vulgar farce that isn't remotely amusing.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    Could have been much funnier than it is.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    This film has a lot more heart and it's just a lot of fun throughout with all these wonderful actors.

    Lacked the tension of Meet the Parents. Tried to be feel-good but just felt flat.

  • Phil H


    A 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.

  • Candy R


    The sequel to Meet the Parents. Ben gets into more bother with Robert when they visit Ben's parentts before the wedding. Robert is brilliant as the ex CIA agent. Dustin and Barbra are very funny as well. Guest appearance from Owen Wilson.

  • Alexander D


    MEET THE FOCKERS, despite the titular double entendre, really isn't the funniest film--the Stiller/De Niro rivalry is continually ridiculous, but unfortunately not ridiculously funny like in MEET THE PARENTS; however, as a sequel, it most certainly is not pointless (see… More

    Jack Byrnes: I'm not so sure this wedding is such a good idea. I don't like what I'm seeing from these Fockers.  "Misery loves family" Meet The Fockers is a big step down from the hilarious Meet The Parents. It's still a decent comedy that has a few… More
