As funny as "Meet the Parents", but not as realistic.

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2005)

Or to put it another way, I found it as funny, but not as believable as the first movie. Still it was a good comedy...once again Ben Stiller and Robert DeNiro are the stars of the show, but Dustin Hoffman and Streisand are very nice additions to the cast. It isn't without its flaws however, but neither was the first one. Though in this movie DeNiro's character seems to have reverted back to the way he was during "Meet the Parents" and in some aspects he seems even worse this time. The RV seems a bit much too, I don't think they just give those out in the CIA. However, those minor faults aside it is well worth a look. I love the way the movie started out with everything going perfect for Focker and his bride to be, but you know the exact moment when the tides begin to turn with a simple bloody nose. Then comes the trip to meet Gaylord's family and they are a bit on the eccentric side to say the least. Jinx the cat returns as do a lot of the original cast including a cameo from Owen Wilson near the end.
