Good Points: Quickly started. Star cast
Bad Points: When Jack injects gaylord with a truth serum to reveal his skeletons.
General comments: I saw Meet the Fockers the day after it came out. It is the sequel to meet the parents but doesn't match up to the first. It gets started very quickly, and shows that Gaylord still doesn't have a very good relationship with his father-in-law.
When a change of plan puts the family's schedule ahead to meet Greg's parents earlier the uptight family don't know what shock there going to get.
When they arrive the house looks very nice and the father (Dustin Hoffman) is very affectionate. The family also meet Greg's mother (Barbara Strisan) who is a sex therapist for the elderly. While Jack and his family are there they discover secrets about Greg they never knew before. Leading to suspicious stories about a long lost teenage son and loosing his virginity to the maid.
This film does have its funny points and boring points, what lets it down I feel is Dustin Hoffman's quite poor performance and Robert De Niros far out antics to get Greg to reveal his secrets. Overall this is a very medico comedy.

I went to see Meet the Fockers having not seen Meet the Parents, sat in a very busy cinema full of scallies and still enjoyed it. The jokes are basically pretty juvenile and the majority of them seem to be centred around the names, a swearing baby and a small horny dog. However, despite contiually feeling that I should now be above this level of humour I laughed through the whole film and really enjoyed it. Go see it for yourself. I'm now off to watch Meet the Parents.
