1. Parts were very funny but my general reaction was too long.

I was disappointed because the cast was so great. They really carried it. I love DiNero!

11. I'd have made it about 80-90 minutes. Keep the laughs but

get rid of the slow points. I was bored enough at times just to drift off so I don't remember what would go specifically. It just seemed to slow down at points. The first part, before they got to FL, was dull. There were other down points. I thought the stuff with the FL cops was hilarious. There were enough other funny parts to make me think thats it could have been pretty funny. To have that cast and not blow it out of the water with laughs etc, is a shame. My criteria for boring is when I think of getting up and watching part of another movie in the theater. Had that impulse several times.

2. Laughed my arse off! Too funny! Barbara Streistand was great as

was Dustin and others!

I live in an almost total red county in a red state, the lines were long to get in and the theater was full every time it ran I heard. So it is ok for morals and values Repukes to laugh at sick jokes, babies cussing, etc???? That is what really made me laugh!!!

3. We went to the movies this evening

We seen the Fockers. I thought it was the funniest movie I had seen in a long time. I want to get the movie on DVD so I can see it again. It was great.

4. I saw it and had a few good laughs, but it had a lot more potential

for being a lot better. With that excellent cast and all the possibilties for humor and conflict between those families, this could have been a killer movie.

5. No

And I'm sick of being told I HAVE TO SEE IT.

I hate Barbara Streisand and Ben Stiller hasn't been funny since the Ben Stiller Show. So I will probably skip this one.

6. As far as movie sequels go, I thought it was really good.

Dustin Hoffman was wonderful, IMO.

7. Saw it. Thought it was funny!

Babs and Hoffman stole the show.

Not quite as good as the original, imo.

8. Saw it last night

and it had me in stitches. Streisand and Hoffman definitely made the movie funny.
