Avis sur le produitMeet the Fockers (DVD, 2005, Full Frame)

Funny

Meet the Parents found such tremendous success in the chemistry produced by the contrasting personalities of stars Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller that the film's creators went for broke with the same formula again in Meet the Fockers. This time around, Jack and Dina Byrnes (De Niro and Blythe Danner) climb into Jack's new kevlar-lined RV with daughter Pam (Teri Polo), soon-to-be son-in-law Gaylord (Stiller), and Jack's infant grandson from his other daughter for the trip to Florida to meet Gaylord's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand in a casting coup). The potential in-laws are, of course, the opposite of Jack, a pair of randy, touchy-feely fun-lovers. The rest of the movie is pretty much a sitcom: put Bernie and Roz together with Jack, and watch the in-laws clash as Gaylord squirms. As with the original, there is a sense of joy in watching these actors take on their roles with obvious relish, and the Hoffman-Streisand-Stiller triumvirate is likeable enough to draw you in. But the formula doesn't work as well in Fockers mostly because much of the humor is based on two obvious gimmicks: Gaylord Focker's name, and the fact that Streisand's character is a sex therapist. As a result, the movie itself is more contrived and predictable, and a lot less fun than the original. The casting is grand, but one wishes more thought was put into the scriptLire l'avis complet...

Meet the Fockers Follows up Meet the Parents Nicely

For starters, Meet the Parents was one the great comedies of the past 10 years and was hilarious because it was unbearably uncomfortable at times. I laughed so hard when I first saw it in the theaters that I was driven to buy the DVD... I've since watched it so many times that I've knocked the funniness out of it (unfortunately) and I looked to Meet the Fockers to rekindle that Ben Stiller / awkward humor. And you know what? This sequel did! Meet the Fockers is true to the first movie - same cast, same plot, same humor, nothing over the top. And it worked. The entire audience was hysterical for 90 minutes.

Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman are fantastic as Ben Stiller's parents (the Fockers). Streisand is especially funny and nutty and Hoffman plays a completely bizarre, emotional character. I would have given Meet the Fockers 5/5 rating except for one scene (I won't reveal, but its about 80% of the way through) that really irked me (way over the top). Other than those 5 minutes - Meet the Fockers was totally fun.

Producer: Jane Rosenthal, Jay Roach, Robert De Niro

Great Meet the Fockers quotes:
Jack Byrnes: I'm not so sure this wedding is such a good idea. I don't like what I'm seeing from these Fockers.

Isabel: He is a handsome little Focker!
Jack Byrnes: He's not a Focker.

Greg Focker: Look, Little Jack was crying so I picked him up and gave him some hugs. Then I went into the kitchen to answer the phone and when I came back, he had let himself out of the playpen, put on Scarface and glued his hands to the rum bottle. Ok?

Roz Focker: Tell me, what's going on with that man of yours?
Dina Byrnes: Well, Jack's always been a little wound up. His job is very stressful.
Roz Focker: Being a florist is stressful?
Dina Byrnes: There's more to it than people think.

Dina Byrnes: Bernie, this frittata is wonderful, what's in it?
Bernie Focker: Well, a lot of the taste comes from this old skillet. I've never washed it.Lire l'avis complet...

Meet The Fockers~ NEED TO SEE AGAIN AND AGAIN...

Absolutly LOVE this movie!! Decided after seeing it for the 20th time..it was time to own it! If you like Ben Stiller...you'll love this! Dustin Hoffman made me laugh hysterically~ He's the father we all have and fear he'll embarrass us around others in public! Funny thing, he doesn't TRY to do this!! Nice to see Barbara Streisand NOT being the lead role...she plays Ben Stiller's mom wonderfully!! An all around fun movie...even my 3 yr old likes to watch it!!Lire l'avis complet...

Not As Good As Meet The Parents But Still Worth Seeing!

This is the follow up movie to "Meet The Parents." I have to say that while this movie is still very funny, it just wasn't as good as the first one. You MUST see this movie if you've watched "Meet The Parents." There are some really funny parts, for example, the fake boob that jack makes for this grandson while her mom is away, the little dog in the toilet, and all the other little things that can go wrong when 2 families meet for the first time. It is worth watching, but, in my opinion, the first one is better.Lire l'avis complet...

Hilarious Movie With a Silly Tongue Twister

Watching Meet the Parents made me laugh so hard, I cried. But Meet the Fockers topped it's prequel by a million laughs!

This comedy mix including Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Barbara Streisand, and Dustin Hoffman made for a fast moving, side splitting tale of bringing Pam and Greg's families together for the upcoming wedding. While Pam's family is refined and has class, Greg's parents are overaged hippies who believe in physical, mental and spiritual freedoms and liberties.

If you appreciate mildly crude humor and tongue-in-cheek remarks, you'll love Meet the Fockers!Lire l'avis complet...

Love this movie!

After being given permission to marry Pam, the daughter of a retired CIA agent, Gaylord "Greg" Focker travels to Miami, with his fiancée, her nephew "Little Jack," her parents and their cat to meet his quirky parents, Roz and Bernie Focker. Roz is a sex therapist for the elderly, while Greg's dad is a prosecutor who stopped practicing to be a stay-at-home dad when Greg was born. On the other hand, Pam’s parents Jack and Dina are traditionally conservative, which produces many of the movie's set ups and comedic situations. This movie shows an evolution in Jack’s relationship with his family. In the first movie, Meet the Parents, Jack is always in control of his family, whereas this time he goes too far with his suspicious nature and covert operations to expose what he believes is Greg's secret pastLire l'avis complet...

BYRNES VS. FOCKERS

This 2nd movie was almost better and funnier than the 1st. I purchased the second movie because it all needed to be completed together and without it my imagination would have been unsettled. There were two characters I didn't really approve of much in the way they were used in makeing the film the toddler(L.J.)and the cat(jinxy)- Sorry!!!Lire l'avis complet...
