Truly Dreadful Film

It is a performances centric movie

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I originally saw this movie before my son got married. I'm watching it on TV now, and laughing hysterically. Now that I have 3 grandkids, i can really relate to the movie. Sometimes I identify with Jack, sometimes with Gaylord. There is a lot of obscenity, but that's today's Hollywood. I usually don't like Barbara Streisand, but she is excellent in this movie. She doesn't have to act much, to be a flake.

Meet The FockersJust as the first one, it pretty much is exhaustingly same which comes as a shock looking at the cast; no amount of funny could have saved the script.

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.

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.
