This sequel lived up to the hype.

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2005)

There were so many subtle inside jokes that could best be appreciated if you had already seen the original, "Meet the Parents". I started laughing when character roles from "Parents" reappeared in "Fokkers". It started early with the airline flight attendant at the ticket counter. Recognizing her and remembering the airplane scene from Parents made this scene even more hilarious because they did a switch that heightened the comedic effect and rolling laughter. You could tell by the laughter or silence of those around you who had seen the original movie when other characters appeared in cameo or "code" words or phrases were used in the dialog.
I'd recommend that you rent the "parents" DVD before you shelled out the $$$ for this one. It would be well worth it.
