Laugh out loud for grown ups

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2007)

Now that is a title that brings a smile on your face! I watched the beginning of Meet the Fockers with a bit of concern about whether this was a waste of time or not. Then, from joke to joke, I got entertained and kept watching.
Jokes are below the belt, and the clash of values between the families is really funny, and in fact this is what really matters when you want a funny film. Not for the whole family but for grownups it will be laugh out loud.
I was also pleased to see De Niro and Dustin Hoffman and a surprising Barbra Streisand, who are so serious, capable of the best dramatic performances, in something so refreshing. I think that they had a lot of fun shooting this, and that in a way it shows.
