Funny but nothing close to Meet the Parents

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2004)

This movie kept me laughing at times but paled in comparison to the first movie. It appeared as though the writer was more concerned with the introduction of as many sexual innuendos as possible (horny dog, exploits of a sex therapist, phallic symbols all over the house, etc) rather than keeping with the type of comedy that made the first movie such a success. It was the innocent, slapstick type of comedy that made the fist movie as funny as it was and kept the audience laughing. Purchasing the first movie is a must but I wouldn't think of investing in the sequel. While Robert DeNiro was as funny this time as he was in the original, Dustin Hoffman disappointed me as he can be much funnier with his keen wit and quick one liners.
Nice try but I'll stick with the first one!!
