Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
All hell breaks loose when the Byrnes family meets the Focker family for the first time. Meet the Fockers has the same energetic tone like the original film and some scenes are freaking hilarious also adding Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg's parents was a great idea and their both great in their roles also the little kid steals most of the scenes. Overall if you loved the original you won't be disappointed by Part 2 either. (10/10)
After Greg Focker gains acceptance from the Byrnes family in the first film,"Meet The Parents",he is now fully confident that everything will be good.Unfortunately,things turn out to be not as good in the sequel and the Byrnes and the Greg's parents get together in the sequel "Meet The Fockers".Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller reprise their role together with Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as the Fockers. Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson co-star.Jay Roach once again directs the film.Jack and Dina Byrnes are looking forward to meeting his parents after finally accepting Greg as a future son-in- law.Unfortunately,things go awry as Pam and his parents visits Bernie and Roz Focker at Miami.Both families are mismatched due to cultural difference as well as having different perspective in life.As tension increases,both Greg and Pam try their best to put their families at peace and at ease with each before things become chaotic and hopeless into bringing their respective parents together.While it maybe never be as good as the original,the sequel is good enough to be entertaining as we get to see great actors and actresses together in film such as DeNiro,Streisand and Hoffman in one film. All legends bring forth great enthusiasm and provides great comedy that will elicit lots of laughter from the viewers.Despite of seemingly repeated gags and jokes from the first film,the great talent involved raised the level of the film to make it funny as they make their roles to be likable characters.Overall,it was still worth watching especially for those who enjoyed the first film immensely.
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.
Yet another sequel that should never have been made, FOCKERS has Teri Polo's parents (DeNiro and Danner) driving to Florida to meet and spend time with Ben Stiller's parents (Hoffman and Streisand). Polo's parents bring along a young grandson who serves as the Cheetah (Tarzan's comic relief) in this fairly lame movie. Whole bits from the original are reused here, but they're not as funny the second time around. The novelty here is having Hoffman and DeNiro appear together -- and for the most ardent movie buffs, they will spot Pacino in a very brief scene. The three great ethnic actors of the 20th century in one movie! The vulgar jokes pile up pretty quickly, most of which aren't particularly funny. Ah well, none of this matters as the movie made a fortune. It's a formula comedy.
