I was determined to not like this sequel, but I found it much fun, with so many screen legends.

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2005)

Having been a movie-goer for over 50 years now, it was impossible for me to separate the actors from their characters in "Meet The Fockers." But that was fine, I enjoyed it. We have De Niro, Hoffman, and Streisand (and to a lesser extent Danner), entertainment and screen legends, playing these funny, stupid characters. How far they have come, from the days when they likely would only have played serious parts. As all of us get older, and we fully realize that we no loner have to prove ourselves, it gets to be fun again, like it was when we were children. Watching these veteran actors be silly was as fun for me as was the actual story.
Even though this is a sequel to "Meet The Parents", the movie takes its own deranged but fresh approach to the upcoming wedding of Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) and Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo). While the first movie focused on Greg's attempt to get Pam's parents to accept him, this sequel focuses on the first time the four parents get together. The setting is Focker Island in southern Florida.
One of the funny sidelines is the 15-year-old son of the former maid. The boy looks just like a younger Greg Focker. Is this his son, conceived when Greg was only a teenager, messing around with the maid? All in all a silly movie, but a very enjoyable one.
