Meet the Fockers is confused about who its target audience is

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2005)

Meet the Parents was one of the funniest movies to ever grace the screen. The movie had slapstick in it but on a very high level. By that I mean that it was funny, but in a way my grandparents could laugh about it. Some of the humor was very dry but all the jokes delivered. Granted, Meet the Fockers did have some hilarious moments...the dog chasing the cat and the conclusion....the baby's 1st word...Dustion Hoffman...But there were jokes in this movie which were aimed more at making teens laugh than their older target audience. For example the scene where the baby wants 'milk' from the maid, or the 'thing' stiller's parents kept as a memoir...or Owen Wilson playing the flute? OWWWW Those were moments where I wondered if I was watching the sequel to "Meet the Parents" or "Dude where is My Car"
I gave this movie 5 out of 10 stars. The movie got so many stars from me because Dustin Hoffman was great and the baby and the dog were awfully cute but...like the neutered dog....when you leave the cinema you feel very unsatisfied and cheated
