But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker (Hoffman and Streisand). The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woe...

One of those relatively rare comedies that's at once puerile, charming and very funny throughout.
The movie gets off to a weak start, but the jokes get progressively more bent.

While it does contain strong hints to it's predecessor, Meet The **** gets plenty of fresh humor from the addition of Hoffman and Streisand, and the content is delivered perfectly by a great cast.
Report
I think the addition of Hoffman and Streisand did wonders for the cast. It was a solid film overall and was well worth watching. A good sequel to what is becoming a good franchise.
Report
What a waste.
Remember Pam? Lost in the Himalayas of big egos and overacting, she's the invisible character here. If they create a special Oscar for the most thankless part in an ensemble comedy, Teri Polo is a shoe-in.
Meet the Fockers? Avoid them would be a better suggestion.
Don't even rent the DVD, it'll only encourage them.
I always enjoyed watching this one quite a bit a few years ago due to it being on ITV2. I watched it today and I surprised that it wasn't as good as I remembered like there's good moments throughout the movie but it's not as funny and entertaining as I remembered it to be.
Report
Eh it was ok. It didnt dwell on the first film too much but it didnt do enough to really set itself apart either. The cast is good but the story is too generic and features a lot of generic jokes. Its funny though and worth the watch, Just dont expect to be amazed by it.
Report
It was just bad. It was like writers have 1 night to write their homework and they have started pretty late. I remember it was so boring I could not wait the end. Maybe it's not that bad, but I have watch better comedies, that I could recommend - the good old Mrs. Doubtfire, The 40 Year Old Virgin, The House Bunny, The Hot Chick, 10 things I hate about you and many more.
Report
A wasted cast is amongst a very lazy, laid back movie that you can tell the writers didn't care about because it wasn't that funny and a bit too raunchy even though it was kind of funny you couldn't find a soul to this film anywhere. I give this movie 20%.
