can't hold a candle to the first one

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 2005)

In the not so grand tradition of "the Whole Ten Yards", "Caddyshack 2", and "K-9: P.I.", comes yet another unneeded sequel the pees all over the much superior original. "Meet the Fockers" has Gaylord and gang meeting his parents played by Dustin Hoffman and Babs Striesand. But the fun-loving Fockers have to "teach" that 'mean old' Jack (Robert DeNiro wasted like everyone else in the film) a lesson on how to loosen up. The laughs that could be found throughout "Meet the Parents" not only thin to a trickle, but cease to exist entirely in this film., replaced with lame tired and cringe-worthy clichés. This was a very depressing movie indeed. Note to Barbra: Stick to singing, meshuggana.
My Grade: F
