Meet the Fockers is the sequel to Meet the Parents, which was a very funny movie starring Robert DeNiro, Blythe Danner, and Ben Stiller, in which Greg (Stiller) has to meet his fiance's (Teri Polo) parents, Jack and Dina (DeNiro and Danner) so he can ask Jack for her hand in marriage. Sadly enough, Meet the Fockers, even with the extra star power of Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand as Greg's parents, fails to deliver the goods as well as it's predecessor.
This movie follows shortly after the first one, and Greg has planned a trip for his fiance and her parents to meet his family before they get married. There is a major clashing of personalities between Jack, who is an uptight former CIA agent, and Greg's father, a former stay-at-home dad, and mother, a geriatric sex therapist. Since this is a sequel, it has to be compared to the first movie. This one just wasn't as funny, and the devices that were used to carry the jokes seemed desperate. Sure, there are some funny moments, but the humor is tired since we've seen it already.

Hilariously silly
and gets the job done. if you're looking for a light comedy for enjoyable time passing, go for this one and you probably won't be sorry (even if it features Ben Stiller. we can't always have it all).

A great sequel.
The addition of Hoffman and Streisand is a big improvement compared to the first film. If the first film shows how nothing goes right, this sequel shows it better. The culture clash with the parents highlights the big differences between the couple. I would personally prefer seeing these super actors in a serious film that would really challenge their acting skills, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with their acting here. This is a perfect sequel, and I enjoyed it very much.

great comedy
This is a very funny movie that shows what might go wrong if you try to combine two families - when the father of one used to work in Intelligence and has unique ways of finding out what's going on... I highly recommend the movie if you're in the mood for 2 hours of laughs. I enjoyed both Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers.
