DeNiro Meets Hoffman and This is The Result????

Rating: 2/10 (18 January 2005)

Who would have thought that a pairing of two screen legends would result in such drivel? Who would have thought that the most memorable on screen moment of such a pairing would be a cat flushing a dog down the toilet? Who would have thought that the most memorable line of dialog would be an infant saying, "asshole?" Who would have thought that this movie would churn out as much money as it has? Hoffman and DeNiro barely interact. When they do, it almost seems as they are not looking at each other.
The writing for Meet The Fockers is sophomoric, which is great for teen sex movies but it is a let down for this cast.
If you have a burning desire to see a a quality "Meet The In-Laws" movie where the girl's father even works for the CIA, see the original "The In-Laws" with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. Here the two leads play off each other brilliantly in every scene. The remake with Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks is even a hands down choice over The Fockers.
I can't believe I sat through this one. Fock me!!!
