Forced Comedy with Good Performances and please: No more puns on the word Focker.

Rating: 3/10 (29 April 2005)

This movie played as if the writers were making the story up as they went along, at times using ideas copied from the original. A few of the jokes worked but generally I found the movie boring and was anxious for it to end. The veteran actors turned in good performances but even they seemed bored with the whole idea. The freshest performance was by the baby, who tended to steal the show. Many movies start off with a bang and end with a whimper. This movie actually becomes funnier and picks up speed toward the end. One other criticism: Sheakespeare was fond of puns but he never worked them to death. Please no more puns on the word Focker. Enough already.
