      Meet the Fockers

      PG-13 Released Dec 22, 2004 1 hr. 55 min. Comedy List
      39% 166 Reviews Tomatometer 58% 250,000+ Ratings Audience Score Now that Greg Focker is "in" with his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack and Dina Byrnes, it looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancée, Pam. But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, the Fockers. The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together. This all adds up to a disastrously funny time of getting to know you. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Sep 05 Buy Now

      Critics Consensus

      Talented cast is wasted as the movie is content with recycling jokes from its predecessor, Meet the Parents.

      Audience Member No where near as good as the first - some of the stupid humor attempts didn’t even move my laugh meter. But I’d still say it’s worth a watch when you’re bored. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Kevin P Some funny lines but not much more. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Michael V MISERY LOVES FAMILY. Meet the Fockers is a 2004 American romantic comedy film directed by Jay Roach and the sequel to the 2000 film Meet the Parents 💒 It's good 🙂 I'd recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 Hard-to-crack ex-CIA man, Jack Byrnes and his wife, Dina head for the warmer climes of Florida to meet son-in-law-to-be, Greg Focker's parents. Unlike their happily matched offspring, the future in-laws find themselves in a situation of opposites that definitely do not attract. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 55 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Mr. and Mrs. Focker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also featuring Ben Stiller as Greg, and Robert De Niro as his father-in-law Jack Byrnes!!!!!!!!!!!! And Owen Wilson as Kevin!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Giorgio S This is not that bad as people say. It's not as good as the original,but the character introduced are great. The jokes are flat but it's enjoyable for casual audiences Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Colette P Disappointing sequel that relies heavily on per-established jokes and ribald humor to get it's laughs. It misses the charm, diverse blend of humor, and clever family commentary that made the first memorable. Could not finish.

      Amy Simmons Time Out This sequel's title indicates the content: smutty, silly and liable to make you smirk despite yourself. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Empire Magazine Fans of the first will find some amusement in familiarity, but with such a comically able cast this is a missed opportunity. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club Meet The Fockers has assembled a historic, once-in-a-lifetime cast, then stranded them in the laziest, most mercenary kind of sequel imaginable. It's like the 1927 Yankees taking on the Special Olympics softball team. Sep 26, 2005 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Even though it stretches too thin sometimes, "Meet the Fockers" is a sequel that works at levels similar to and different from its source and another comedic meeting you won’t mind taking. Rated: 3/4 Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review [The sequel] shamelessly carbon copies jokes and the plot structure from its predecessor. Rated: 1/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Sean Collier Box Office Prophets It's an unimaginative comedy, with occasionally effective scenes interspersed with flat retreads of the original's jokes. Rated: 5/10 Feb 26, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
