Mon beau-père, mes parents et moi

This movie was the worst I have seen in years. I had seen 'Meet the Parents' and thought it was good/funny and from the ads for this one, I was expecting an entertaining comedy. What I got was the most boring, awful, hardly funny at all piece of junk I've seen in recent years. This movie has left me with such a bad taste that I have yet to go see another movie since. Bottom line: truly awful waste of time. If a movie like this can look good in advertising (which it seemed to do for me), any bad movie can, so I'm not going to plunk down any more of my money to go to a theatre for quite a while.

'Meet the Fockers' is a malevolently poor sequel to the brilliant comedy 'Meet the Parents'. This film has a fantastic cast, with Dustin Hoffman's frenetic performance the highlight. Yet this great cast is set adrift with a generic and ultimately lame character arch. For Ben Stiller fans, the film is better than 'Envy' but no better than 'Along Came Polly' or 'Duplex'. For fans of the great Robert D., it's just as bad as the 'Analyze' sequel and 'Showtime'. I love Stiller and Bobby D but his film was such a letdown. Bottom line is this sequel is not funny... the cameos are wasted... and all the charm is missing this time around. What a cinematic shame! Final grade = D+

I am not a prude. I enjoy raunchiness, but some skill, a light touch, is required. If you are amused by a sex therapist talking shop, watching a weird little dog hump everything in sight, the reactions at the dinner table when a foreskin lands in a plate of soup. or seeing a baby in a high chair mouth expletives then this is the show for you. An evidently for millions of movie goers who have made Meet the Fockers one of 2004's top moneymakers. Too bad, it will encourage all the people involved in making this appalling movie. I would expect the spectacularly untalented Ben Stiller to willingly participate in this project, but would like to know how such top[ veterans as Streisand. De Niro, Hoffman, and Danner got involved.

I saw the movie last night and like many of the other parents in the audience with their children was very disappointed. The only audience that I had ever observed leaving the theater more quietly was the one with which I shared the Passion last year. This movie should definitely have been rated "R" for the continuous sexual content and unnecessary barrage of sexual natured comedy. I may have found Meet the Fockers rarely funny if viewed only with my spouse, but having my 13 and 14 year old children with me left me continuously defensive of the next scene. This is definitely a movie only for the lesser intelligent adult community.

This movie is the pain. The only relief comes from the trained cast (less Ben Stiller which is playing his own style). If it weren't for the great actors playing in this movie, 5 minutes would have been more than enough. Anyway, trying to go all the way through almost two hours of distilled comedy-manure is quite an experience. All the jokes are forced, and the main quality of this particular movie is that you don't hear the background laughs you do on sitcoms. I can't say this is the worse comedy movie I've ever seen. There are certainly worse cases. Without Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and the others (Ben Stiller not included) this one has a good chance of joining the rest of the candidates for worst comedy.

Horrible sequel. This movie represents Hollywood's complete disconnection with the majority of America. DeNiro is basically made out to be an idiot, I can't believe he agreed to do this role. Hoffman was entertaining, but you just wanted to b....slap him. Babs was Babs, obnoxious and not funny. I wish that they had cast Ben's parents, Jerry Stiller and Ann Meara, as originally intended. That would have been much more entertaining. The sexual references were too much and to frequent. This movie is not for children, despite the rating, the decor in the Focker's house is nothing but explicit images of the human anatomy in various positions. There is also a lot of dry humping among seniors during Babs Sex Therapy class. Don't waste your money.
