On the other hand, Roach and crew make it clear from the start that they're not exactly shooting for the same style of film as Meet the Parents. For just one example, it's obvious that something is going to happen to Gaylord's rental car in New York as soon as we hear him opt out of purchasing insurance, blowing it off as a "scam" to make money. Additionally, director Jay Roach and the writing team of James Herzfeld, Marc Hyman and John Hamburg telegraph quite a few of the punch lines. If you've seen Meet the Parents first-and you should-some of the material, such as Gaylord's job, jokes based on the "Focker" name, and even Jack's background and disposition will have less of an impact, which initially partially depends on novelty and surprise. Can Gaylord keep his parents reined in enough to not cause Jack blow his lid and try to stop the wedding? Although I didn't think Meet the Fockers was quite as funny or successful as Meet the Parents, it's still funny and successful, with a bit less of an emphasis on nonstop outrageous humor and a bit more of an emphasis on the often amusing complexities of extended family relationships. The problem is that the Byrnes are staid, conservative (though slightly crazy) types who would never think of showing public affection, while the Fockers are still hippies-she is a sex therapist for elderly couples and he's a lawyer who became Mr. So Greg and Pam fly from Chicago to New York to meet her parents, Jack (Robert De Niro) and Dina (Blythe Danner), before heading off with them to Miami to meet his parents, Bernie (Dustin Hoffman) and Mother Focker Roz (Barbara Streisand). Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Ben Stiller) and fiancée Pam Byrnes' (Teri Polo) wedding is fast approaching, and their parents still have not met each other. It gives necessary background exposition and characterization for this film.

Series note: As this is a direct continuation of Meet the Parents (2000), it is recommended that you watch that film first.


Reviewed by BrandtSponseller 9 / 10 A different kind of comedy than Meet the Parents Will Jack resort to using his infallible contraptions to get to the bottom of Greg's suspicious behaviour? But there's still something fishy about Greg. However, as conservative Jack and Dina finally get to meet the uninhibited, cool parents Bernie and Roz, rivalries and secrets emerge, and someone learns a new word. Having managed to enter the longed-for "circle of trust" after the events in Meet the Parents (2000), Greg Focker invites the straight-laced Byrnes family to meet mum and dad, the eccentric Fockers.
