Meet The Fockers

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2004)

I watched Meet The Fockers last night and found it to be pretty funny, but not AS good as Meet The Parents. There were quite a few laughs but in some scenes you just KNOW whats going to happen & that takes the fun out of that particular scene. Ben Stiller's character, Gaylord Focker, spent WAY too much time telling his parents to be themselves/to not be themselves. Come on, this is supposed to be a COMEDY (you know- ha ha funny funny), give some laughs, not a wanna-be heartfelt talk with the parents!! I think that personally I expected this movie to be 10 times better & funnier that Meet The Parents, but then again, isn't one of Ben Stiller's latest movie releases DodgeBall?? Perhaps he left his funny bone behind when he started filming that terrible movie.. Long story short, I thought Meet The Fockers was OK, but I'm disappointed I spent $9.00 on a movie ticket when I'd have much rather spent $3.50 at Hollywood Video & been able to pause to pee....
