The cast saves the movie from being just "another" comedy.

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2005)

The success of the movie relies on the comedic performances of the duo formed by De Niro and Hoffman. Blythe Danner and Barbara Streissand deliver expectations though their characters don't ask for too much. Ben Stiller's comedic resources rely too much on his facial expressions and body language. Still the man is funny and gives a good performance. Teri Polo is just OK.
The situations are funny but not as creative as in the previous movie. The audience expects extremely funny situations but that doesn't happens and it's not that necessary. In my opinion, the situations from the previous movie repeat in the sequel but now the situation is against De Niro. There are sub-plots that just didn't catch the viewers' attention because weren't very necessary. For example, the confusion about Greg's "son" didn't develop because a situation like that would ruin the movie's charm. The way the scene is explained is just too silly.
"Meet the Fockers" is an average comedy with the usual funny situations, sex jokes, and double sense humor. Not a movie that will make you laugh out loud but will surely entertain you. In my opinion, not better than "Meet the Parents" but it has to be watched because of it's cast.
