Fockers has the combined subtlety of a libido-mad bull elephant and a bad case of flatulence in church, but that's the kind of movie it is.

Reviews for Meet the Fockers
You should get your kicks from the Fockers.

Hoffman...is like the one kid in gym class who takes Frisbee golf seriously.

There is not one joke in Meet the Fockers.

Unlike Billy Crystal (Analyze This) and Eddie Murphy (Showtime), Stiller brings out De Niro's best comic instincts.

Familiary breeds contempt...Unless you think a dog flushed down a toilet is a laugh riot, you're better off leaving these Fockers alone.

If you have absolutely nothing else to do, and you can see it for free, with little hassle, you just might get Fockersized.

Does little to alter the formula of the original, but the two films set a nice example of successful use of the concept of theme and variation.

...the story fails to take the high road...

Ben Stiller looks the same as he did during Parents in 2000, but pity poor Teri Polo who's putting on miles faster than Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
12/31/04
The foreplay was a little boring, but once they start Fockering, it works... It may be absurd and in poor taste, but that doesn't mean it can't still be funny.

This is silliness that's good for a video replay on a rainy day.

Could they not have come up with anything but lumpish, vulgar humor and dumb “Focker” puns?
12/28/04
A comic clash of stereotypical Red State and Blue State culture, but with a wish-fulfillment Hollywood ending in which 'Fockerization' triumphs...
12/28/04
The most disappointing sequel of 2004.

Top CriticA little coarser, a little more desperate and a lot less funny than its predecessor. But Dustin Hoffman saves the day.
12/27/04
The Fockers is a must-have for family viewing.
