Title: Uninspired retread
Product review: It's a shame to see talented legends reduced to low-rent comedy that tries to be hilariously vulgar but fails miserably. The only redemption in this sorry sequel is the amazing screen magnetism of Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. Who knew Dustin Hoffman could actually be likable in a movie? Who knew Streisand actually has a sense of humor about herself? Ben Stiller is funny but a little too old for the sad sacks he always plays. The Burns family trio (DeNiro, Danner, Polo) is so plastic and one-note I could hit the mute button and not miss a beat... DeNiro really needs to find something challenging before he starts competing with Robin Williams for film roles. If not for the pedigree of the cast, this would be a decent movie, but I really expected better.
