Distract them with star power!!

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2005)

'Meet The Fockers' is an interesting attempt at a sequel to the very funny "Meet The Parents". Most of the principal cast is back, Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro et al. And the unusual thing about this movie of course, is the addition of Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Stiller's parents, the Fockers. So essentially, it's ALMOST the same movie, except De Niro seems to be the odd man out this time. This movie does have it's cute moments, but it's sure strange to see such high star power in low comedy. Especially with Babs. I mean, who knew she had it in herself that she could do erection jokes? Who knew Dustin Hoffman could be the sexiest guy alive? (well, I wouldn't necessarily push him out of the bed). Seriously, I did like the first one better, this one seemed like overkill.
