Plenty of Good Possibilities Left Hanging

Rating: 4/10 (4 January 2005)

The new cast members were great. Hoffman and Streisand were wonderful as Bernie and Roz Focker. The ex house keeper could have been used for a better affect to the movie but of course she had to be stereotyped. Little Jack (Pickres kids) was a wonderful twist to the movie.
Blythe Danner had another wonderful supporting role as Dina Byrnes. But the rest of the original cast left much to be desired. I don't know if it was due to bad writing or just lack of effort. Stiller's character Gaylord Focker had his moments but was to busy trying to stay within "the circle of trust". Deniro was horrible as Jack Byrnes and Teri Polo's character Pam Byrnes left me with nothing good to say.
"Meet the Fockers" dealt with so many good issues but hardly dedicated any time for any of them to develop into something entertaining. As soon as a good story line was approached it was immediately changed. There are plenty of laughs but the movie seems to drag when its set to take off.
