Consensus: Talented cast is wasted as the movie is content with recycling jokes from its predecessor, Meet the Parents.
Runtime: 1 hr 58 mins
Genre: Comedies
Synopsis: Following the knee-slapping hit MEET THE PARENTS, director Jay Roach once again keeps audiences roaring with laughter as he presents this hilarious sequel. This time, young engaged couple Pam (Teri... [More]

Reviews for Meet the Fockers
Streisand and especially Hoffman are a hoot.
12/21/04
An infantile, desperately uncreative sequel that will do anything for a cheap laugh. Just imagine Meet the Parents remade for the comedy sensibilities of a 12-year-old.
12/21/04
From the start the jokes are on a different level than the last one: coarse, aggressive, and poorly timed by director Jay Roach.
12/21/04
Streisand and Hoffman are a hoot, the most entertaining Haight-Ashbury movie refugees since Lily Tomlin and Alan Alda similarly tormented Stiller in Flirting With Disaster.
12/21/04
Unbelievably raunchy...an avalanche of s******ing sexual humor masquerading as a family comedy.
12/21/04
De Niro's brilliantly economical expression of utter revulsion somehow never stops being funny.
12/21/04
DeNiro is pretty much the only reason to see Meet the Fockers...[betrays] creative exhaustion.
12/21/04
Stiller — by starring in Meet the Fockers, one of the year’s final releases — pulls into a buzzer-beating tie with Jude Law as the most-overexposed actor of the movie year.

There's room left open, of course, for the eagerly-awaited conclusion to the Parent Focker trilogy. Here's hoping that when that blessed day arrives, I'll be good and dead.

Greg Focker is ashamed of his loving parents and Jack Byrnes needs Viagra.
12/20/04
repetitious and just not that funny on the whole, especially since it's so derivative and out of character next to the original
12/20/04
Forced and formulaic sequel ... is a tedious disappointment.
12/20/04
This pic is pretty Focking lame.

If you don't think Ben Stiller is funny, Spanglish is playing at the next theater over. Meet The Fockers made me laugh so hard my stomach started to ache.
12/18/04
Features three of the most frightening noses in the business (Streisand, Hoffman and Owen Wilson). Consider yourself lucky it's not in 3D.
12/18/04
A frantic, pointless sequel, funny in clumps, but mostly contrived and empty.
12/17/04
Feels like a big-budget Dharma & Greg episode with toilet jokes.
