Not bad

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2005)

I was skeptical about seeing the sequel 'Meet the Fockers' because generally sequels don't work. But I was pleasantly surprised that they kept the movie funny and interesting. This time around Byrnes family meets Fockers family. I absolutely loved that they paired up Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg's parents. They were hilarious. I thought Dustin did a better job than Robert DeNiro. Some joke, I agree, were somewhat old, but they worked for me. I truly enjoyed this movie. I can't say it was better than the first but it wasn't that bad. The first film was more subtle on jokes, though. I also liked the little kid... I don't know if they used special effects to make him say his first word but it was very well executed. Overall, I would give this film 8/10.
