Anyone see "Meet The Fockers"?

not a great movie but definitely funny.

And 24 hours later i'm still laughing at certain scenes.

I liked it much better than the first. It was nice to see Dustin Hoffman in a comedic role again.

Barbra has great hooters. You would of never known it in Yentle

doesn't have hooters.

I just didn't find it funny at all...in fact all it did was make me cringe and want to punch everyone involved with making it. It was the only Stiller film that I've hated. I'd have to classify it as an "un-comedy". Not only was it unfunny, but I would slit my wrists if I knew anyone like the characters in the movie.

Did I say how much I hated the first one? Oh yeah, I guess I did.

So I won't be seeing this one. (Although I do like the scene in the commercial where the cat is flushing the dog down the toilet.

:spank:

and laughed so hard that tears were streaming down my face.

Very funny... especially the baby.

"ass-hoooooooole"

Especially with the Latina women.

I'm glad to see Barbra back. She's very, very funny and she and Dustin Hoffman have great chemistry. I don't think they got enough screentime however. I also didn't think the baby was funny.

Every 5 minutes which adds up to a lot of time! :spank:

I think it's great, actually.

I was surprised that she agreed to be in this movie.

If you have such expectations going into this movie, you will be sorely disappointed. It is definitely not as funny as the first movie. However, if you look it as a delightful and humorous little romp, then you'll actually enjoy the movie like I did. I went into the movie with extremely low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised at the end.

alot of it was expectations.

I do, too bad i don't get one. I never get one :evilfrown:

but not as funny as the first one. Barbra Streisand was perfectly cast as Mrs. Focker, but I thought Dustin Hoffman was a little TOO embarrassing as the father. I started to cringe when he was on screen because I knew he'd go too far (and he always did.)

Robert DeNiro got too soft and huggy by the end. I don't think they can make a third movie.

...but looking forward to it ! I hear it set a new box office record for Christmas Day. Good for them, and nanny-nanny-boo-boo to the critics :silly:

"Meet the Fockers" sounds like "Meet the f-u-u-…". Oops! Can't say that because of FCC guidelines. Just the same, the title pretty much describes the level of the humor in this Ben Stiller comedy. But that's redundant because it IS a Ben Stiller movie. Clearly my expectations for this movie were not high and, maybe because of that, I found "Meet the Fockers" quite funny.

Don't get me wrong. This is not a movie for everyone. First off, the writers did not miss a single opportunity to play off of the name "Focker". It's silly and gets a little old but it somehow works with the other repetitious low-down gags.

Focker is the family name for Greg (Focker), Ben Stiller. The funniest Fockers, however, (now I'm doing it) are Greg's parents Bernie and Roz, a loose and liberal Florida hippy couple still living in the last century and enjoying every minute of it. Dustin Hoffman, as Bernie displays a previously unrevealed talent for over the top comedy. Fitting perfectly with Hoffman's Bernie, is Barbra Streisand as Roz Focker, reminiscent of the "zaftig" Lainie Kazan. Bernie is a yesteryear lawyer who has not practiced since who knows when. Roz is the main breadwinner from her business as a sex therapist to the elderly.

Greg is not too eager to reveal his parents' true nature to his fiancée's parents as they all come to visit to get to know one another better. Teri Polo nicely plays Greg's fiancée Pam. Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner play her stiff and straight parents, Jack and Dina Byrnes. Oh – also add in some baby low-brow by Spencer and Bradley Pickeren, two adorable twins playing Little Jack.

So, go low, go loose -- or don't go at all -- but if you like Ben Stiller, go see "Meet the Fockers". Dustin's antics will crack you up and you'll enjoy Barbra back on the big screen after so long. Rated a B+.

It was pretty funny. Not as funny as the first, imo. Stiller's character was slighty less annoying and stupid, which I don't know if that worked.


Babs and Dustin were my fave characters.

I'm glad I saw it in the theater, cause I love watching flicks on the big screen but you could probably wait till it gets on DVD, video.


I would give it 2 1/2 stars or a 6 out of 10.

:spank: bad Dustin

actually i thought Dustin was phenomenal.

i thought it was quite good. Very funny. Barbra and Dustin both were very funny as was Robert. Of course Ben Stiller is just adorable.

lol
