MEET THE FOCKERS
RATING =6/10. A fairly funny mixing of tightly wound parents with super relaxed opposites. There are numerous laughs, but also quite a few misses. Skip this one if you hated the original film.
The GOOD. Amazing chemistry between Streisand and Hoffman. (They are obviously enjoying themselves.) Quite a few laughs. Great use of the baby for laughs.
The BAD. The secret CIA activities are rather far-fetched. The extended DVD sequences are not worth watching. The willingness of Stiller's parents to embarrass him often become ridiculous. The "mystery meat" of the fondue was a bit much. The traffic cop sequence tried too hard to be humorous with stereotypes. The film often tries in vain with bathroom-type humor. Not as funny as the original.
