Meet the Fockers : 2 of 5
12.23.2004 10:22 PM \| Link	Whenever my parents and I are together, if there's a silly comedy in the theater, we'll see it. I think I saw Meet the Parents with my parents a few years ago, and as expected, this sequel just doesn't live up to the hilarity of the original. Still, it definitely has its funny moments, and it was certainly a fun way to spend a holiday afternoon! I'm sure you know the plot from the trailer or TV commercials - Ben Stiller and his fiancee travel with the crazy parents from the first film to meet Ben's crazier parents, the Fockers (and yes, they take every opportunity to milk the name, including the DJ at a party saying "Dance, you Fockers!"). There's plenty of added jokes to fill in when the families just aren't enough, including a cute little humping dog (how do you train a dog to hump a Albert Einstein puppet?) and a cute grandson who uses hand signals to say he wants milk whenever boobs pass by. Every now and then some series of events would seem totally frivolous, but I guess the truly funny sequences were spaced out well enough to keep you looking for the next big gag. I prefer my comedies with a little more heart, but it was worth seeing just to listen to Mom laugh anyway! Labels: movies
