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)

      Meet The Fockers~ NEED TO SEE AGAIN AND AGAIN...

    Absolutly LOVE this movie!! Decided after seeing it for the 20th time..it was time to own it! If you like Ben Stiller...you'll love this! Dustin Hoffman made me laugh hysterically~ He's the father we all have and fear he'll embarrass us around others in public! Funny thing, he doesn't TRY to do this!! Nice to see Barbara Streisand NOT being the lead role...she plays Ben Stiller's mom wonderfully!! An all around fun movie...even my 3 yr old likes to watch it!!

      Meet the Fockers Follows up Meet the Parents Nicely

    For starters, Meet the Parents was one the great comedies of the past 10 years and was hilarious because it was unbearably uncomfortable at times. I laughed so hard when I first saw it in the theaters that I was driven to buy the DVD... I've since watched it so many times that I've knocked the funniness out of it (unfortunately) and I looked to Meet the Fockers to rekindle that Ben Stiller / awkward humor. And you know what? This sequel did! Meet the Fockers is true to the first movie - same cast, same plot, same humor, nothing over the top. And it worked. The entire audience was hysterical for 90 minutes.

    Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman are fantastic as Ben Stiller's parents (the Fockers). Streisand is especially funny and nutty and Hoffman plays a completely bizarre, emotional character. I would have given Meet the Fockers 5/5 rating except for one scene (I won't reveal, but its about 80% of the way through) that really irked me (way over the top). Other than those 5 minutes - Meet the Fockers was totally fun.

    Cast: Barbra Streisand, Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo

    Great Meet the Fockers quotes:
    Jack Byrnes: I'm not so sure this wedding is such a good idea. I don't like what I'm seeing from these Fockers.

    Isabel: He is a handsome little Focker!
    Jack Byrnes: He's not a Focker.

    Greg Focker: Look, Little Jack was crying so I picked him up and gave him some hugs. Then I went into the kitchen to answer the phone and when I came back, he had let himself out of the playpen, put on Scarface and glued his hands to the rum bottle. Ok?

    Roz Focker: Tell me, what's going on with that man of yours?
    Dina Byrnes: Well, Jack's always been a little wound up. His job is very stressful.
    Roz Focker: Being a florist is stressful?
    Dina Byrnes: There's more to it than people think.

    Dina Byrnes: Bernie, this frittata is wonderful, what's in it?
    Bernie Focker: Well, a lot of the taste comes from this old skillet. I've never washed it.
