Two pleasant hours with some old and new friends

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2005)

I really enjoyed "Meet the Fockers"; it wasn't simply a rehash of the first movie but an organic extension of it. Ben Stiller's parents in the movie were a little over the top but completely believable (I've never been a big fan of Babs but she looked great and did a wonderful job and it was nice to see Dustin Hoffman in a comedy again. The two looked like they could have easily been married to each other for 40 years).
There were a few cringingly embarrassing moments (which was the desired emotion, I suppose) but all in all a very pleasant two hours spent with old and new friends.
