Description of Meet The Fockers (Full Screen Edition):
Meet the Parents found such tremendous success in the chemistry produced by the contrasting personalities of stars Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller that the film's creators went for broke with the same formula again in Meet the Fockers. This time around, Jack and Dina Byrnes (De Niro and Blythe Danner) climb into Jack's new kevlar-lined RV with daughter Pam (Teri Polo), soon-to-be son-in-law Gaylord (Stiller), and Jack's infant grandson from his other daughter for the trip to Florida to meet Gaylord's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand in a casting coup). The potential in-laws are, of course, the opposite of Jack, a pair of randy, touchy-feely fun-lovers. The rest of the movie is pretty much a sitcom: put Bernie and Roz together with Jack, and watch the in-laws clash as Gaylord squirms. As with the original, there is a sense of joy in watching these actors take on their roles with obvious relish, and the Hoffman-Streisand-Stiller triumvirate is likeable enough to draw you in. But the formula doesn't work as well in Fockers mostly because much of the humor is based on two obvious gimmicks: Gaylord Focker's name, and the fact that Streisand's character is a sex therapist. As a result, the movie itself is more contrived and predictable, and a lot less fun than the original. The casting is grand, but one wishes more thought was put into the script.--Dan Vancini
Meet The Fockers (Full Screen Edition) Reviews:
Saw the Movie was not impressed.not too funny sadly. 
2009-11-08 - This movie is not as funny as the first sadly, where the first meet the parents movie was hilarious this one lacks it, it's not that this movie is not Funny. it is. but not as much as the 1st one. Then you add in the new cast of characters it just didn't do it for me sadly. It could have been better, there is a 3rd installment rumored to come as of this writing which will be about the kids, let's hope it's better and funnier. Pass this one, go for the 1st. I rented it and was disappointed.
Fun, fun, fun movie! 
2009-08-23 - Part 2 to "Meet the Parents", this movie is even more fun. Streisand, Hoffman, De Niro are all outstanding in this feature! What a great cast and a hilarious plot.
Not Even Close to "Meet the Parents"
2009-07-15 - Let me just say, I LOVE "Meet the Parents." It's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Let me now say, this movie is NOTHING like meet the parents. The whole movie is based on two things:
1. Cheesy Sex Humor
2. Gross out gags
Nothing else from this film is memorable (except for the always amazing Robert De Niro reprising one of his best roles.) Gotta love Jack!
Skip this movie, see the first one.
good buy
2009-06-27 - This cd was cheap, got here really fast, and was funny! I have no compaints
Excellent Sequel
2009-01-21 - I have not seen too many sequels that are as good or better than the first movie. However, this is a classic with a continuation of the domination that Robert De Niro has over his daughter.
I never anticipated Ben Stiller's family being so different than what was betrayed in the first movie. I highly recommend watching both of these movies "back to back."
