If you liked Meet the Parents don't miss Meet the Fockers

Rating: 7/10 (9 January 2005)

If you liked Meet the Parents don't miss Meet the Fockers. There's never been a Robert Di Nero movie I did not like and his tough guy persona works well in both the original and the sequel. The over protective father has now turned his attention to his new grandson. Jerry and Anne should be proud that their box office winner son Ben has pulled off another winner with same style that he's been polishing since There's Something About Mary. Ben Stiller can do more with a look and a stutter than most actors can do with a page of dialog. As for everyone's favorite Ratso Rizzo, it's worth it just to see a guy who's old enough to collect social security playing football and dancing up a storm. Dustin Hoffman is the perfect father to Ben's character. Blythe Danner plays the "Edith Bunker" type wife to Di Niro's CIA Agent character to a T. Teri Polo puts in another great job. If I could only leave Strisand's politics outside I'd even have something nice to say about her.
