Meet the Fockers, but with reservations

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2010)

The last(and only)time I saw 'Fockers' was six years ago on the big screen, and I was mildly disappointed. And what is Barbara Streisand doing in the movie? I'm sorry to say, but she does not belong in a comedy, at least not this type. However, Dustin Hoffman is an ideal choice, and believe me, that's saying something. 'Fockers' is not quite at the level of 'Parents', but I enjoyed parts of it. What it boils down to is, this is a rehash of the original story. Again, we have a cat on the toilet, this time flushing himself. And I'm not so sure the term "Meet the Fockers", has quite the same ring as "Meet the Parents". Trust me, using the word 'parents' is more promising than a proper noun. So, if you haven't seen this one, and are expecting laughs equal to the first movie, don't get your hopes up too high.
