Meet The Fockers (Widescreen Edition) (2004)
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Parents was a good movie with many laugh out loud moments. Unfortunately they should have left the success of the movie alone. Instead they made Meet the Fockers which did not live up to my standards. When making sequels they should be as good if not better than the first. I believe Fockers put a bit of a damper on Meet the Parents.
I went in to Meet the Fockers expecting to laugh, a lot. Ironically I laughed out loud more at the showing of Christmas with the Kranks which had bad ratings. I expected Fockers to be so much more than Kranks but it definitely was not. There were some cute parts in Fockers but it did not live up to Meet the Parents, not even close.
There are great actors in the movie which may attract you, and they do great performances. The movie gets kind of old after everything always seems to go wrong. The awkwardness of Ben Stiller around the inlaws gets annoying which actually started to get annoying in the end of Meet the Parents. Unfortunately the roles of his parents in the movie just seem to be overplayed.
Overall I do recommend this to be rented, but definitely not a DVD buy. If you feel as if your Meet the Parents collection will suffer without the Fockers then so be it, but I guarantee Fockers will get dust on the cover.
I originally gave the movie 3 stars but after remembering how much I worked myself up for a great movie and was let down I was forced to put 2. The actors are what save the movie from not being a dud and deserve 2 stars.
Unfortunately, we can only hope that we never Meet the Children.
