Reviews for Meet the Fockers
If you have absolutely nothing else to do, and you can see it for free, with little hassle, you just might get Fockersized.
01/03/05
There is not one joke in Meet the Fockers.
01/05/05
Clearly contrived, yet at times undeniably funny. Still, from this cast, you may be expecting more substance and less sophomore.
01/09/05
In the tradition of recent Hollywood sequels, this one replays the old gags, gooses up the pace and lowers the level of the humor -- way lower.
12/22/04
'Quizá tenga una historia muy boba y situaciones absurdas llevadas al extremo, pero de eso se trata: de hacer reír con bobadas'
01/24/05
Meet the Fockers is not much of a movie -- just a lot of comic situations barely held together by the semblance of a plot -- but it is genuinely funny in a crass way.
12/22/04
The abundance of talent gathered for Meet the Fockers is sadly shortchanged by the unimaginative script and directorial laissez faire.
01/15/05
A comic clash of stereotypical Red State and Blue State culture, but with a wish-fulfillment Hollywood ending in which 'Fockerization' triumphs...
12/28/04
Though it's good to see [Stiller] back in his stumbling, bumbling element, it's a bummer to see his element wasted in such stumbling, bumbling gags.
12/21/04
Top CriticThere are few things sadder than wasted potential, unless it's sitting through 115 minutes of mediocrity desperately searching for a few decent jokes.
12/23/04
Top CriticMeet the Fockers, a sluggish sequel to the anarchic domestic comedy Meet the Parents, is one visit too many.
12/22/04
Top CriticDirector Jay Roach gives the film no visual distinction whatsoever but packs on the jokes with tireless bustle.
12/21/04
Top CriticAn infantile, desperately uncreative sequel that will do anything for a cheap laugh. Just imagine Meet the Parents remade for the comedy sensibilities of a 12-year-old.
12/21/04
It is Beavis and Butt-head rewriting The In-Laws, only the scripts for Beavis were much smarter.
12/24/04
Top CriticThe sequel is pretty much what you'd expect--mindless fluff with maybe a little less calamity than its predecessor, but a lot more schmaltz. Oy vey!
12/22/04
Thanks to an ensemble cast that includes Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman, Meet The Fockers is much more fun than anticipated.
12/22/04
Unlike Billy Crystal (Analyze This) and Eddie Murphy (Showtime), Stiller brings out De Niro's best comic instincts.
01/03/05
Hoffman and Streisand provide some laughs in this sequel to Meet the Parents but the screenplay lacks comic zest.
12/22/04
The awkward, uncomfortable charms of the previous picture have here been replaced with an aggressive vulgarity that bears not even a passing resemblance to human behavior.
