Not worth your time - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Sequals are almost never as good as the original and this movie is no exception. Babs shows why she is never hired to do any movie that she does also does not produce, she can't act and isn't funny.

Took daughters 2 c it - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I have two daughters....one in highschool who is only a freshman and understands the terms of this movie and a seventh grader who had no idea what the heck this movie was about. Of course my seventh grader was laughing her head off not knowing what it was about and my freashman was embarassed. Just a word of advice, dont take your eighth or ninth grader to see this movie.

Lame ! stiller +babs= losers - Meet the Fockers Reviews

What a waste of time and money.....Not worth the price of admission. It's all Follywood Hype....The trailers are better than the movie.... Stiller and Sandler are like real people I avoid...STUPID....

Better than anticipated! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I Like movies that have happy endings. But I want them to be plausible and this one is just that. Deniro and Hoffman show off their upscale acting abilities and Barbara Streisand puts in a great performance. In fact everybody in this movies does a good job, including the cute little baby! Happy Holidays and enjoy the movie! Joaquin Ticonderoga

Awesome cast, awful sequel - Meet the Fockers Reviews

The cast of "Meet the Fockers" has five acting Oscars, several Emmys, a slew of Golden Globes and one Tony among them. They won the Oscars for "The Godfather Part II" and "Raging Bull" (Robert De Niro), "Rain Man" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" (Dustin Hoffman) and "Funny Girl" (Barbra Streisand). The Tony went to Blythe Danner for "Butterflies Are Free," and Hoffman picked up an Emmy for "Death of a Salesman." In other words, they won awards for doing a fine job in projects with excellent writing and top-notch directing. Here's a modest proposal. Let's start giving actors awards for not embarrassing themselves, or us, in lame sequels such as "Meet the Fockers." I mean, c'mon: Arnold Schwarzenegger probably could pick up a best-actor Oscar if he had Martin Scorsese directing him in a script by Paul Schrader, right? Homer Simpson would have a shot if they gave him "Rain Man." The question awards-givers should ask themselves is this: Could any actor do anywhere near as professional and committed a job as De Niro does in "Fockers," a movie that requires him to repeat the same "Those Fockers!" joke over and over and over again, interrupted occasionally by a poop joke? Could Olivier pull off the fake breast De Niro has to wear, in another awful running gag? Could anyone else be as loose and funny as Hoffman and Streisand are playing Ben Stiller's smothering-loving Jewish-hippie parents, a cliche that was exhausted well before they propped it up one last time in the TV sitcom "Dharma and Greg"? The marvel of "Fockers" -- the ONLY marvel -- comes from watching Hoffman, Streisand, De Niro and Danner throw themselves into their roles, no holding back, and wring every last drop of comedy out of the wet dishrag of a script. Given that most stars of their caliber get to read the script before they sign, though, you do have to wonder why any of them would agree to make "Fockers" in the first place. Sure, "Meet the Parents" was a sleeper gem, but the sequel is many degrees below that. It's a patented Stiller comedy, designed to showcase his gift for squirming stoically while being subjected to embarrassment, and it has all the Stiller tropes, from the broken-toilet gags right down to the ritual humiliations of his character. (Ha-ha, he's a nurse! And his name is Gay! Gay Focker! His parents talk about his sex life! He gets injected with truth serum and spills lots of embarrassing secrets into a microphone! Etc.) What's in it for the rest of them? Hoffman and Streisand do appear to be having a fine old time, playing randy old hippies who can't keep their hands off each other, and their fun is infectious, at least fitfully. They sell a few of the bad jokes, and never once do they let us know that THEY know how bad they are. For that, they deserve more than an award. They deserve Scorsese directing their next picture.

D - for dumb humor - Wedding Crashers Reviews

I am simply let down everytime I get talked into going to an american made comedy. Who's rating these comedy movies... post pubescent boys and girls? I guess if you think bare breasted women, stupid cliches' and just plain dumb writing is funny... more power to you. I'll stick to the foreign comedies, until Hollywood can produce something more funny than this type of garbage.

Stay home--watch "meet the parents" again instead - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Holy cow. "Meet the Fockers" was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Shouldn't this have been rated X? I mean wooden penises, books about vaginas, senior citizens humping? The first movie "Meet the Parents" was so funny, and so tastefully done, and such an enjoyable movie to watch again and again. This piece of crap would be better off flushed down the "trailer" toilet with the dog. Any bright spots in the story line and cute moments with the little kid were far overshadowed by sexual talk that would make Spike Lee blush. I'm only disappointed that I sat through the whole thing.

Just a dud - Meet the Fockers Reviews

It was great to see Streisand again, and DeNiro has evolved into a sharp character actor. So why did they agree to do this atrocity? I would've walked out, but it was below 0 outside and I stayed to the end of the movie and got bored to death instead of freezing to death. It was a tough choice.

Not as good as the first - Meet the Fockers Reviews

there was good acting but the overall plot and final message didn't live up to the first one. In my opinion, the first one was more funny with a more realistic feel to it. this is a sequel and falls short of the original like most 2nd movies. If you really liked the first one than go and see some character development and simiar humor otherwise just wait for it to come out on DVD.

Eldersex 101 - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Don't take your kids to this. Don't watch it with anyone that you might be embarassed talking about explicit sexual acts with. It is kinda like watching the erectile disfunction commercials with your kids.This was such a disappointment after the first movie. Ok the name "Fokkers" adds humor and sexual innuendo, but the second movie didn't need to be all about "Fokking". And what is this with the baby, they just needed that to play to. Hoffman and Streisand were fine, but it would have been great to have a really interesting and funny story line, like the first movie and not just "sex over 55" Did we really have to watch the over 75 couples in Barbra's class learning new positions on the foam pillows? Gross!!And the foreskin chat at the dinner table.

This movie is all immature sexual humor - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Most movies have some sexual innuendo, which can be quite funny because of its subtlety, and then others just have a few "awkward" scenes -- scenes in which the writer and / or director was trying too hard. Unfortunately, this movie took the physical humor that Meet the Parents had and made it entirely sexual. It was so blatant and contrived that I actually left the theater and asked for my money back. If you like immature sexual humor, this movie is for you. If you tend to squirm or if you prefer your sexual humor slightly more sophisticated, then definitely pass.

Not as good as original - Meet the Fockers Reviews

This movie was not as funny as the original. It does have good moments and a few good laughs. Barbra Streisand used to be very funny years ago seems to have lost whatever she had once. I suspect her hatred for President Bush has consumed her and driven her to near insanity. This movie is 2nd rate, dont waste your money.The first movie was full of laughs but this one you have to hunt for them.

Predictable and not funny - Meet the Fockers Reviews

If you've seen the trailer, you've seen every funny part of the movie!! This was completely awful. Don't go. What a waste of talent. Awful.

Are you all idiots? this was awful! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I found a review which perfectly sums up my thoughts. Here it is......... Be forewarned -- every funny moment in the movie is featured in the trailer. Sad, but true. It is an awful movie (and there are obviously a lot of idiots out here that SOMEHOW liked it). Why is it awful? Let me count the ways. 1. An over-reliance on PREDICTABLE sexual humor. Sexual humor can be very funny. This wasn't funny at all. Ok -- Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand like to "get it on." Ok -- but do you really think to repeat this 50 times is funny? Twice -- maybe three times -- funny. 50? Repetitive and boring. 2. A flimsy conclusion. Do you really expect us to believe that DeNiro's character (bad-ass) changes miraculously in the end? Do you expect us to believe that this former CIA agent is fine with hugging and kissing Hoffman's character? And you think this "bad-ass" really wants to ignite sexual passions with his wife? Come on? No way. This sucked. 3. Get rid of the kid. There is an extreme over-reliance on a little kid/baby in this movie which borders on the pathetic. Ok -- give us a couple jokes with the baby, but again....50 so-called joke references to a little kid? My God -- this was so "focking" annoying. Really...... 4. Way too long. Get rid of 40 minutes (at least). And that should be easy. Toward the last 30 minutes, there are NO funny scenes. NONE. Awful. It was terrible. And I'm stunned to see anyone give it a rating over a "C." Anyone who gave it a "C" or above is either stupid or they were drunk.

Very dissapointed - Meet the Fockers Reviews

We just walked out of Meet the Fockers. The first movie, Meet the Parents was and is a favorite of our entire family. We expected the same clean humor from the next film. There was nothing clean or humorous about this sequel. The continued references to sex only offended us and showed the lack of creativity the writers had. We left the movie after sitting thru 50 minutes and would not recommend it to anyone.

Happier, sillier than first one - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I thought Meet the Fockers was overall very funny and definitely worth seeing. One thing about Meet the Parents (the first one) that I didn't like so well was the fact that everything went wrong, which for me was not always very fun to watch. I thought the movie was funny and entertaining, but it was almost depressing to watch poor Gaylord Focker mess up EVERYTHING. In Meet the Fockers, however, things don't always go wrong, and it's still full of laughs.

Was it a comedy ? - Meet the Fockers Reviews

This movie was nothing like the first one which i really enjoyed. The jokes are too far between and rely too much on bathroom humor. Great cast wasted, makes me wonder why barbra streisand stopped making movies. Please people leave politics out of reviews, just because streisand is a left wing extremist liberal headcase doesnt mean she cant make a good movie. Just this wasnt it. Dustin Hoffman whined his lines so much the screen needed closed captions, he should blow his nose or consider surgery. save your 8$

Joked repeated, but it's not funny the second time - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Do you really have to live in Hollywood and choke on crack daily in order not to be able to comprehend, that if you take the same jokes from the first movie, add two completely not-funny aging actors like Hoffman & Streisand, and rerun the plot, it will suck? I agree with someone suggesting to see the first movie again instead.

Filarious - Meet the Fockers Reviews

This movie kept me and the entire movie theatre laughing throughout the entire movie. The movie is 2 hours long, but it didnt seem like a long movie. There are no dull parts. In some movies that are 2 hours at the end you go wow that was long, but not in this one. I would recommend this movie over any other movie that is out right now. IT WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE.

Can you say re-run? - Meet the Fockers Reviews

The first time around it was good... I liked the first movie. This one joke movie was done before. Adding Barbara Streisand to the cast was the death blow. She's more irritating on the screen than she is as a political activist.

We should have never meet the folkers! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Horribly predictable on all counts. Great cast, bad writing, bad plot. TOO MUCH OF THE BABY IN THE MOVIE! We should have never meet the Folkers! I want my two hours back.

Sadly to say...i've been 'fockkerized'! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Let me begin by saying that I've never gone to a movie that prompted me to write a 'review'! However, in this case, I felt it my public duty to save others the price of admission! I absolutely loved "Meet the Parents". I thought it was one of the funniest, and yet most poignant movies that I had ever seen. I mean, who couldn't sympathize with poor, hapless Greg Fockker, and the social situations in which he found himself? When I started seeing Trailers and previews of "Meet the Fockkers", I couldn't have been more excited. Although I wasn't thrilled with the casting choices, I thought this movie is going to be dynamite. Unfortunantly, I have to report, after seeing this dreadful movie that the only dynamite to be found is watching this hap-hazard effort totally self-destruct. Virtulally all of the very few moments of actual humor in this movie are cobbled together in the trailers. Other than what you see there, not much is left. Also, I have never in my life seen a movie where the boom microphone is visible in the shot more than this movie. Literally, it seemed as if every other shot had a visible boom mic. Pathetic. Can you say "rushed to market?" Do they not even edit these supposedly blockbutster movies before they put them out for public consumption? Anyway, save your money and wait for it to be shown on network TV. I couln't even recommend this stinker for a video rental. Hope this helps...

Lame - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Meet the Parents was flat-out-funny, this time around I was out right board. I had been so pumped to see this movie and walked away disapointed and regret spending full price to see this flick. Being such a new movie and all the hype with the media-there was only eight people in the entire theater and from the lack of laughter I had to look around to see if anybody was still around besides my wife and I. Because I sure debated to walk out. Wait till a friend rents the movie so you don't have to pay to watch it. Bottom line, Its a lousy flick.

Biggest waste for a movie! don't waste your time!! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I was very eager to see this movie and have been waiting for a freekin long time to watch it. The movie sucked. Dustin Hoffman cant do comedy, Barbra Streisand just plain sucks. The only good person in the movie was Deniro! Don't waste however much money you're gonna spend and definately don't waste your time. Terrible movie! I only wrote this review to warn people not to waste their time on this retarded movie! If you want a good movie, watch Oceans 12 or A Series of Unfortunate Events!

Focker this movie - Meet the Fockers Reviews

This movie is the worst sequel made since Jaws 2. The story is beyond weak, Barbara just plain isn't funny, nor is Dustin. If it wasn't for Dinero and his one liners, this movie would go straight to DVD

As bad as the first one was good.... - Meet the Fockers Reviews

loaded with idiotic potty humor that centers on sexuality and the focker wordplay. What a waste of a great cast. DeNiro is the only worthwhile performance. I went in with high expecations because I loved the first one and thought it one of the funniest movies ever. This one is a bomb. The angle of the Focker parents professions was great, but the script was miserable and the ridiculous centering of sex as a theme for primary humor in the movie just does not work. In doses and with inuendo far more could have been accomplished here. A phenomenal dissapointment.

You gotta be kidding - Meet the Fockers Reviews

You will find this funny if your IQ is room temperature or less. Dreadfully obvious jokes abound; an overabundance of trite sexual humor (and sexual humor can be hilarious -- this wasn't); painfully unfunny moments; and about an hour too long. If you aren't bright -- you'll love it.

Add me to the circle of trust? - Meet the Fockers Reviews

As I have mentioned in several of my other reviews, I have never been a big Ben Stiller fan. I have always found his humor similar to the recess-style humor of the Wayans brothers or Adam Sandler. However, Meet the Parents was an exception for me as I found his interaction with Robert Deniro absolutely hilarious. Meet the Parents had several laugh out loud moments, and I am pleased to say that Meet the Fockers picks up nicely where the first film left off, successfully continuing the Focker story. In part two we find that a year has passed and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) and Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo) still are not married because their parents have not yet had a chance to meet. Early in the film we find that Pam?s parents, Jack (Deniro) and Dina (Blythe Danner) are packing their Winnebago, and they along with Pam and Greg are heading to Florida to finally meet Greg?s quirky parents, the Fockers. Greg?s eccentric and hippie-esque parents are played to over-the-top perfection by Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. The ultra-conservative Byrnes family meets with the ultra-liberal Focker family and the fun begins as Greg must convince Jack that he and his family are good enough for his daughter. The storyline is pretty good fun and the interaction between the families offers some truly funny moments. I was concerned about the casting of Hoffman and Streisand, but truthfully they don?t hurt the film, and their characters are actually quite likeable. I can?t imagine anyone who liked the first film not enjoying this one. Most of the jokes and gags are on a similar level and the main focus of the film still involves the great interaction between Stiller and Deniro. The chemistry between them is undeniable and it?s more than enough to make this film worth a look if you liked the first film. As in the first film, I felt there was a mix of genuinely hilarious moments along with a few groan-inducing scenes which for me went a little too far. In my opinion, the formula for a successful comedy comes down to whether or not the genuine laughs outweigh the always present recess-style humor in most comedies today. Meet the Fockers does enough to be a success. Overall, this is one of the better comedies of 2004 although I am not sure how much further they can go with these characters. An additional sequel may become repetitive and the characters would be in jeopardy of becoming stale. At this point I hope they let the series end on this high note and move on to other projects unless they can come up with a script that is truly innovative. Regardless of the future of these characters, the bottom line is that if you liked the first film, the second one will be just as satisfying so check it out.

Meet the fockers - Meet the Fockers Reviews

Why is everyone saying this movie sucked? Its really good considering most sequels are a piece of garbage...even though it could of been better without the baby(lol)..but go watch it yourself then say what u think about it..

I've been fockerized! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

This movie was hilarious from start to funish. It's just as good as the first one if not better. The acting was excellent. Dustin Hoffman, who usually plays a more serious role, nailed his part perfectly and left me laughing in many of the scenes. There were a few little funky twists that left you feeling shocked but made you laugh all the more. As in the last movie, there's the "Circle of Trust" that must be maintained and Gaylord (Ben Stiller) is always trying to stay in it, even when his querqy parents get involved. It's a funfilled and funny movie and by the end maybe you'll feel "fockerized" too!

What a pile of crap - Meet the Fockers Reviews

The only redeeming part of the movie were the actors. It was fun to see Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand and Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller. But the movie was WAY TOO LONG; predictable jokes; inane at times; and painfully not funny at other times. Meet the Parents was wonderful. Creative. Original. One of my all-time favorites. Hysterical. This was sadly, almost its opposite. My suggestion: Wait for the DVD and get liquored up beforehand.

Alright, it's the fockers, we get it! - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I went to a prerelease of Meet the Fockers. I enjoyed Meet the Parents and I looked forward to this movie. I was very disappointed. It seemed like the only joke in the entire movie was that their name was "Focker." There were very few jokes that weren't based on sex, and as funny as sex is, the humor does get a bit old I'm glad I saw it, but only because everybody is talking about it.

Better than the first one - Meet the Fockers Reviews

I am amazed at some of the reviews I read in here. I wonder what movie they were watching. I have not laughed this much at a movie since Something about Mary or Caddy Shack. In fact, I was not alone either; 90% of a 3/4 full theatre was laughing with me. At the end of the movie the audience applauded. How often does that happen? If you have a sense of humor you will find this movie extremely funny. Dustin Hoffman is halarious. When I left I thought for sure this movie will make it big on just word of mouth advertising. It is that good. I think you have to be a stick in the mud to criticize this flick. I am truly representing the majority in the theatre I was in. The movie moves quickly from one funny scene to another. There were no slow moments at all. I read some of these reviews and I wonder what planet are these people from. Dont pay attention to these wanna-be critics and go and enjoy this movie. Dont go as a critic go as a viewer and have fun with it. You will have a great laugh, which is something we all need.
