Hoffman, in particular, is a delight - he has an infectious comic energy that seems to light up the rest of the cast.

Following the knee-slapping hit MEET THE PARENTS, director Jay Roach once again keeps audiences roaring with laughter as he presents this hilarious sequel. This time, young engaged couple Pam (Teri Polo) and Greg (Ben Stiller) are getting their parents together a few months before the wedding. Greg nervously plans out every detail of the trip, only to be usurped by Pam's domineering ex-CIA-man father (Robert DeNiro). Not only has he purchased an RV, insisting they'll be driving from New York City to the Fockers' home in Miami, but he's bringing along his perfect baby grandson. When they finally arrive at the Fockers' house, Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand), turn out to be sex-addicted hippies and not at all what the Byrnes (DeNiro and Blythe Danner) had expected. With one pitfall after another, the film takes the concept of awkward in-law experiences to new heights, from stories about past sexual experiences to detailed discussion of current ones. What's worse, the Fockers are teaching the baby curse words and weaning him on rum, to the shock of his overprotective grandparents. Every conversation is totally inappropriate and downright embarrassing, keeping audiences braced for the next disaster. Along the way, all six cast members turn in topnotch performances, with Hoffman, Streisand, and Stiller leading the charge in true Focker spirit. [More]

Reviews for Meet the Fockers
A pergunta é: você quer transformar o título brasileiro desta produção em realidade?
Very often vulgar and tasteless, and though there are some unexpected bursts of humor and even charm in the proceedings, it's light years away from Chekhov.
'Quizá tenga una historia muy boba y situaciones absurdas llevadas al extremo, pero de eso se trata: de hacer reír con bobadas'
Although not as disarmingly funny the second time around, inspired casting means that, unlike most in-laws, the Fockers don't outstay their welcome.
so exaggerated that it veers wildly and awkwardly into pure, outlandish farce
Even Stiller, who I’ve always appreciated, seems to be going through the motions here.
The abundance of talent gathered for Meet the Fockers is sadly shortchanged by the unimaginative script and directorial laissez faire.
[Hoffman and Streisand] make a wonderful team, but it's too bad the material isn't fresher and more worth their time and yours.
Gauge your interest by how you liked Parents and you won’t be disappointed.
It does what few comedies achieve, literally giving me a laugh a minute, sometimes good, deep belly laughs.
Roach continues his regrettable Austin Powers habit of beating the same shtick to death until nothing of comedy value remains.
Clearly contrived, yet at times undeniably funny. Still, from this cast, you may be expecting more substance and less sophomore.
No se trata de una obra de arte ni una competidora a los Oscar, pero…¿A quién le importa eso cuando lo que uno busca es reírse un poco?
...[a] star-studded but tediously uneven low-brow sequel...Meet the Fockers is pretty much a flavorless family affair to forget
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.
Fockers has the combined subtlety of a libido-mad bull elephant and a bad case of flatulence in church, but that's the kind of movie it is.
