In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Meet the Fockers is not as good as Meet the Parents, the plot is basically Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is planning to marry Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo) who is also pregnant.Her parents Jack (Robert De Niro) and Dina (Blythe Danner) are travelling to Florida to meet the Fockers Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) and Rozalin (Barbra Streisand) who are ageing hippies and who probably kickstarted the sexual revolution back in the 1960s. They are the antithesis of the conservative Byrnes.Jack is dismayed at their liberal attitudes, their celebration of mediocrity and Bernie's emasculation who gave up his job as a lawyer to raise Greg. However I am sure Jack already knew this, they called their son Gaylord Focker!The film has lowbrow and smutty humour with a side plot that Greg may have got his large breasted nanny pregnant as he had his first sexual experience with her. De Niro is uptight, untrusting his future son in law. Hoffman is loose and ready to spar with De Niro. Streisand is wasted, she really does not have much to do. However it is amusing enough and will make you laugh along the way.

This is a very inspirational comedy…it was so boring…I was inspired to leave before the end of the film. Honestly, I am really tired of spending a ton of money to sit in a stinking theater, gnawing me arm off through a half-hour of the stupidest commercials ever made and then watching the main attraction. It really sucks when it turns out to be some stupid tripe- sandwich like this. It kind of makes me wonder…who is more out-of-touch with reality? The directors…or the producers…or the writers…or the self-loving actors – a pointless question? I always like Ben Stiller, but he couldn't save this disaster-movie. Robert De Niro added a big pile of disappointment. Dustin Hoffman – I thought he retired-too bad. Barbara Streisand – she is always way too loud and I kind of thought she left the US years ago? That is too bad also. This is very un-funny and not worth my time…I would like my money back. I want to un-meet these Fockers.

You read the top right. If it's broken why fix it? Meet The Fockers is the continued story of Greg Focker and the unique family he is trying to marry into. Only this time, Greg is introducing his parents to his in-laws and they are more dysfunctional than his in-laws. Now don't get me wrong, this is still a movie I would watch once and leave to oblivion. The same form of comedy is used as in the first, it's awkward but better performed I think. It's the best of the Focker Trilogy, which is garbage as a whole. However, Greg's parents are brilliantly cast and are the best part of the movie. Just saying my favorite part of the movie was either when Greg is drugged by his father-in-law or when they flush Mojo, the Fockers' family dog. They were the high points in a very mediocre/bad movie that can be forgotten with little effort, but this movie is still way better than the first. Do not go out your way to watch it or rent it, it's not worth it.

I should point that I never saw the original "Meet the Parents" so I went into this with no preconceived ideas. Gaylord Focker (Ben Stiller) is going to marry Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo). Only problem is her father Jack (Robert De Niro) doesn't really like him but her mom Dina (Blythe Danner) does. They all go to meet Gaylord's parents--Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) and Razalin (Barbra Streisand). His parents are liberal and free-wheeling--hers aren't. Sparks fly.The only reason I saw this was for the cast. We have some wonderful actors here--De Niro, Hoffman, Danner and Streisand. They all can do comedy and make the movie pleasant. All in all it's very OK. It moves quick, the comedy isn't too crude (hence the PG-13 rating) and Stiller and Polo make a nice pleasant couple. My only problems are Stiller's character going through some needlessly violent slapstick, De Niro's character is WAY too unpleasant (especially at the end) and the beautiful Danner is criminally underused. Still it works as a nice mild comedy.
