1 - 10 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticThis sequel’s title indicates the content: smutty, silly and liable to make you smirk despite yourself.
06/24/06
Top CriticFans of the first will find some amusement in familiarity, but with such a comically able cast this is a missed opportunity.
04/01/06
Top CriticAlthough not as disarmingly funny the second time around, inspired casting means that, unlike most in-laws, the Fockers don't outstay their welcome.
01/18/05
Top Critic[Hoffman and Streisand] make a wonderful team, but it's too bad the material isn't fresher and more worth their time and yours.
01/15/05
Top CriticOne of those relatively rare comedies that's at once puerile, charming and very funny throughout.
12/22/04
Top CriticThe movie is pleasant enough, but never quite reaches critical mass as a comedy.
12/22/04
Top CriticBecause no good joke in Hollywood goes untold again ... and again, the mixed-couple setup receives another extended workout in this modestly amusing sequel.
12/21/04
Top CriticThe gap between the first and second installments isn't as gaping as with, for instance, Analyze This and Analyze That, but the laughs Fockers generates are the type you feel embarrassed about almost immediately afterward.
12/21/04
Top CriticThe ensemble's giddy chemistry and the addition of perfectly cast topliners Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand should find Fockers entertaining huge crowds for the holidays and beyond.
