Hoffman at his best!

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2005)

In Ishtar, Hoffman was funny for about ten seconds. Here, Hoffman deserves an award for his comedic talent. He is not only the best thing about the movie, Hoffman gives one of his most interesting performances since the Graduate. Yes, this is not his "Rain Man" award winning role, but it is close to one of his best. As soon as h is introduced, everything Hoffman does is funny. Everything that comes out of his mouth is either a punch line or something so odd that you have to laugh at it. Everything else in the movie blends, but without Hoffman the movie is less than Meet the Parents. Instead, this is a sequel worth watching. It pushes the envelop in what to say and see. More outrageous that the first, Meet the Fockers is a great comedy because it has no rules. It is a comedy that will make you laugh. Promise.
