Title: An Inferior Sequel to Meet the Parents
Product review: Given the casting of Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Ben Stiller's parents, along with Robert DeNiro back as the hot-tempered Jack Byrnes, you'd think that "Meet the Fockers" would be a tremendously funny movie.Alas, I was very disappointed. The gags and dialogue don't work nearly as well as in the first film. What kind of screenwriter would think that attaching a fake breast to Robert DeNiro, or having a toddler utter profanities, or giving Greg Focker an illegitimate son, would be funny to watch?The running joke about Greg's last name ran pretty thin in the first film, and in this one, they run it into the ground.It's a shame so many talented actors had to work with such a lame script.
