Meet The Fockers (DVD) Review

Arguably, the best comedy of 2004, Meet The Fockers is a hilarious, full of humor marathon. Screenwriters Greg Glienna and Mary Ruth Clarke (who should have received an Oscar for his impeccable penmanship Meet The Parents) turn in another manuscript successful. But, as with its predecessor, Meet The Fockers would not be the masterpiece of comedy that is without chemistry onscreen Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. Stiller, son of comedian Jerry Stiller (Seinfeld & King Of Queens), is a comic genius in his own right and has recently dominated the box office in Hollywood with a string of smash spoof comedies such as There & 39 ; s Something About Mary (1998), Meet The Parents (2000), Zoolander (2001), Along Came Polly (2004) and Dodgeball (2004). De Niro, on the other hand, moves from the less serious roles of his early career in the genre of comedy with an ease fully indicative of his enormous talent. In early comic roles in Wag The Dog (1997), Analyze This (1999), and Meet The Parents (2000) prepared for lovers of the veteran film actor zinging one line. Throw Dustin Hoffman (who is also surprisingly funny) to the mix, and Meet The Fockers becomes one of the few comedies that movie fans want to see over and over again.
Meet The Fockers follows the continuing hardship of Gaylord " " Greg Focker (Ben Stiller), a nurse whose future father-in-law, Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), is an endless source of torment. A retired CIA operative, Jack is paranoid and controlling, and Greg& 39;s previous attempts to win over Jack & 39; s affections have always come up short. Now, Greg& 39;s life problems are multiplied by the imminent first meeting between his in-laws-to-be and their parents " ".
Traveling by RV, Greg, his fiancee Pam (Teri Polo) and the rest of the family Byrnes arrive in Florida where Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) and Roz " Fockers (Barbra Streisand), love free lifestyle hippie is in stark contrast with Jack & 39; s serious facade. Throughout the visit, Greg works overtime to avoid having Jack learn from his mother thriving sex therapy business, his own youthful indiscretion with the family cleaning, and its inability to supervise Jack Jr. even for a single afternoon. When Jack comes the idea that Greg fathered a son in high school, he administers truth serum to Greg, triggering a series of events that will undoubtedly make even the most ardent critics of the juvenile and ridiculous movies (and this is one of them) Prorrumpen in laughter.
Meet The Fockers is a rarity in that it is a fairly successful sequel to a film that manages to live up to the reputation of the original. Although Meet The Parents is probably the best movie, Meet The Fockers is a truly hilarious comedy in its own right. Directed by Jay Roach (director of the Austin Powers franchise), Meet The Fockers is a very entertaining comedy, the deployment of all the secrets of the trade - slap-stick, bathroom humor, zinging one line, the classic & quot ; fish-out-of - Water " sequences, and situation comedy. No way this is a classic movie art worthy of awards and accolades from critics sophisticated. But in his plane. It promises to make you laugh and carried out that task with relative ease.
