Want Some Laughs? Stay Home & Catch a Seinfeld Rerun

Rating: 3/10 (26 December 2004)

I walked out after about ninety minutes in the theater.
"Meet the Fockers" didn't make me laugh once. There was some weak laughter in the crowded theater.
It was just so dumb, so ham-handed, so grotesque.
Even a funny set-up -- a baby gluing his hands to a bottle of rum -- was handled in such a ham-handed way that I couldn't find it funny.
A bunch of youngish males were sitting behind me, and they didn't laugh, either.
I hope that Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand make other movies soon. Heaven forbid that this should be the last movie for either one of them.
Oh, and by the way, why did two Jewish stars participate in a movie that so grotesquely stereotypes Jews? Hoffman and Streisand are a Jewish Amos and Andy routine here.
Ew. Just -- ew.
