Not a consistent sequel, not funny

Rating: 3/10 (22 January 2006)

'Meet the Fockers' the the sequel to 'Meet the Parents', which was a very good romantic comedy film involving a guy named Gaylord Focker who tries to fit in with his girlfriend's family. 'Meet the Fockers', however, is a horrible sequel with in-your-face comedy, which maybe only generated a couple of small laughs in the 1.5 hours of film. The humour in this film is not nearly as subtle as the original, and it is a ruder sense of humour which focuses primarily on sex. 'Meet the Parents' is a much better film with subtle humour across a wide range, and there is a sense of feeling for the characters, while the characters are thrown around in 'Meet the Fockers' to be as rude as they can be. (Humour such as the scene where the foreskin accidentally finds its way thrown into a pot of hot chocolate is rather disgusting - in my sense of humour - and not at all funny, but I guess that some people did find this funny.) I would suggest you see 'Meet the Parents' and do not bother with this film. It is completely different from the humour in 'Meet the Parents' that it is not a good sequel anyway. I am cringing about this poor film at this very moment and wishing that I had my money back.
