The movie is as funny as its title - not too

Rating: 3/10 (25 December 2004)

The Mrs Focker is a sex therapist, and that drives much of what passes for humor in the movie: the tension between propriety and openness. Some humor based on the excretory functions is a change of pace. And there are some jokes based on the different approaches to competitiveness between the two families. This is the aspect that I found most amusing, if pressed on the issue. Sequels often fail to live up to their promise, and it may be only that stringing two good movies in a row is difficult. The actors seem to do an adequate job of portraying the persons created by the writers, but the expanded premise was too worn out to be still funny.
