Meet the Fockers (2005, DVD)

Movie Description
Following the knee-slapping hit MEET THE PARENTS, director Jay Roach once again keeps audiences roaring with laughter as he presents this hilarious sequel. This time, young engaged couple Pam (Teri Polo) and Greg (Ben Stiller) are getting their parents together a few months before the wedding. Greg nervously plans out every detail of the trip, only to be usurped by Pam's domineering ex-CIA-man father (Robert DeNiro). Not only has he purchased an RV, insisting they'll be driving from New York City to the Fockers' home in Miami, but he's bringing along his perfect baby grandson. When they finally arrive at the Fockers' house, Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand), turn out to be sex-addicted hippies and not at all what the Byrnes (DeNiro and Blythe Danner) had expected. With one pitfall after another, the film takes the concept of awkward in-law experiences to new heights, from stories about past sexual experiences to detailed discussion of current ones. What's worse, the Fockers are teaching the baby curse words and weaning him on rum, to the shock of his overprotective grandparents. Every conversation is totally inappropriate and downright embarrassing, keeping audiences braced for the next disaster. Along the way, all six cast members turn in topnotch performances, with Hoffman, Streisand, and Stiller leading the charge in true Focker spirit.

Editorial Reviews
"[Streisand] generates real warmth in her intimate exchanges with Mr. Stiller and especially Mr. Hoffman."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (12/22/2004)

"De Niro's deadpan, overbearing style again works like a charm. Stiller, as the comic foil, has some funny moments as well..."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (12/22/2004)

"The pleasures of MEET THE FOCKERS are many and varied....One of those relatively rare comedies that's at once puerile, charming and very funny throughout."
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano (12/22/2004)

"[Streisand and Hoffman] are a hoot, a movable feast of heart and shtick..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (01/14/2005)

"[T]here are some cherishable comic exchanges between De Niro...and Dustin Hoffman."
Sight and Sound - Edward Lawrenson (02/01/2005)

"[With] the still-fine interplay between Stiller and De Niro..."
Uncut - David Stubbs (03/01/2005)

      A Great Streisand & Hoffman Comedy PG-13
    Review created: 06/16/06(updated 12/18/06)

    I'd watch anything with Barbra Streisand doing comedy in it because of her impecable timing. Robert De Niro still has the power, as he did in Meet the Parents, to make me intensely dislike his character. Dustin Hoffman has never been so cute. Ben Stiller is coming along as a comedian, but is still not great like his real parents.

    De Niro is supposedly a control freak ex-CIA operative who is now taking control of Stiller and Polo's young nephew. Streisand plays a sexologist who is always rushing off with Hoffman to roll in the hay. While poor Blythe Danner has to put up with the emotionally and physically detached De Niro.

    This sequel to Meet the Parents is far better than its predecessor was because it is less slapstick. Streisand and Hoffman have a stage chemistry that is priceless. This one is worth owning and watching over and over again.

    If you don't laugh, you're dead! The pairing of Dustin Hoffman with Barbra Streisand is the best pairing since Fred and Ginger! Can't wait to see .... "Meet that little Focker!" .. Hope they get it out soon. I want to see the grandparenting of Dustin and Barbra bring the CIA to its knees.

    Ever since the 1st movie "Meet the Parents" I've been in love with these two movies! I think they are excellent as far as combining comedy with a good plot, good actors, and what was really important to me- There was NON of that too stupid over done, Will Ferrell kindergarten humor. I recommend this movie for all "real" comedy lovers!
