well after the first film we knew that there we be a sequel with me looking forward to this film is was not let down it was a brilliant sequel which it outdone its other film its like date movie comedy with fun and heart so with Greg and Pam Marther focker getting on with their life there is only one thing left to do is meet Greg's folks Dusty and Barbra this is hilarious funny with them as adult guides wait till they got a hold of bob character well as they are having a family get together bob as you know is C.I.A so any gadget or R.V he has is up to date with software as such so with meeting his parent Greg is certainly in the circle of trust or so he believes as bob doesn't like his character as with the baby sign language and name calling cat and dog at it or jinx flushing antics at it again this is a must see movie

Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) wants to plan his wedding with Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo). They have family gathering with Pam's parents (Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner) meeting the Fockers (Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand) for the first time. Only their liberal tendencies and sexual freedom may not be Jack Byrnes' ideal. Along for the ride, Debbie has left her toddler son with his grandparents.The kid is an odd addition without either of his parent present. He's obviously there as a prop for the many jokes at Greg's expense. The addition of Hoffman and Streisand open a few more avenues for comedy, but it doesn't mean this is funnier than the first movie. In many ways, their characters feel forced and unnatural from an inferior sitcom. There are still laughs, but just not as good as the first movie.

I love Meet the Fockers! Love everything about it. It's so funny! More so so very good. Every scene is great. Maybe it's not as funny as Meet the Parents the original. Nor as goooood......But personally, I love Meet the Fockers by far more. And nothing personal against the original. Meet the Fockers has a greater cast is all. Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman as Rozalin and Bernie Focker is exactly what this sequel needed. Oh my Gosh, they are so funny. The best! They interact hilariously with Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner as Jack and Dina Byrnes, who are great! I love them! There is a real lovely chemistry happening between Danner, De Niro, Hoffman, and Streisand, and those four stars make this movie. I love Ben Stiller as Greg Focker. He's great. But Stiller takes a backseat to the shenanigans of Greg and Pam's parents. "Honey, I'm in the mood for a chimichanga. So make a chimichanga!" Bernie and Roz are the funniest! Stiller does a fine job holding his own against such great actors, and Teri Polo does too. Dustin Hoffman is phenomenal. Barbra Streisand stills looks so very crazily attractive. Robert De Niro completely falls into his character for his comedic role as Jack Byrnes giving the character great depth making Jack Byrnes intensely interesting but in such at sometime a little offbeat for a comedy but still I feel mostly appropriately light for a comedy allowing the character to be..........attractive. Speaking of attractive! Blythe Danner!...Oh my God! Simply lovely. Simply beautiful. She is the most gorgeous. Oh, goodness. Barbra, I think I'm getting a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. Here I'll give you a topic. Blythe Danner is the sexiest woman alive. Discuss! I love you, Blythe! Teri Polo returns to her role as Pam and couldn't be sweeter or sincerer. Meet the Fockers is the real best. It has great heart. One of my favorite comedies. One of my favorite movies too! I can watch it a million times and it will always be funny because it never gets old! "Honey, I'm in the mood for a chimichanga. So make a chimichanga!"

My summary says it all - I don't understand why it's considered acceptable to cause upset to small children in order to make a film.Apparently, I'm supposed to add some more words to this review... so I'd like to say how much the location of this film reminded me of that in Cool Hand Luke - probably one of the most moving films ever made about the attempted destruction and ultimate (albeit, tragic) triumph of the human spirit.Blythe Danner is quite sexy isn't she?Ben Stiller was good in Tropic Thunder.. Robert Downey Jr. was very good..
