Film Freak Central :
There's a scene towards the end of Jay Roach's pathologically
unfunny Meet the Fockers where Dustin Hoffman and Robert
De Niro sit across from each other in a front-yard bower
and prepare to exchange dialogue. Thirty years ago,
such a tableau would have been cause for held breath
and tingles up and down; today, it's just two miserable
old has-beens cashing a paycheck borrowed against their
dimming reputations and acting like clowns for the bemusement
of the very same audience of folks who used to demand
something from their entertainment. Something like energy,
for instance, or invention, or--perish the notion--insight
into the world of thought. Meet the Fockers throws itself
onto the growing pyre of disposable gag reels built
entirely on humiliation and scatology.

Review By Tiscali
UK :
The most surprising aspect of this sequel to
the hugely successful Meet The Parents is not that it
got made, but that it took four years to get made. It
would be good to think the time had been spent honing
the script and improving on the first film, but the
evidence proves otherwise. Instead it's a laboured and
lengthy rehash with many of the original gags being
recycled and few fresh ones added. The most critical
difference is the introduction of Dustin Hoffman and
Barbra Streisand as Greg Focker (Ben Stiller)'s parents,
thus providing the film with its oh so risqué
title. More..
Reviewed by Joshua Tyler :
I wasn’t expecting much from Meet the Fockers,
a sequel to 2000’s pretty successful comedy Meet
the Parents in which jokes about bad last names are
made. While I like watching Ben Stiller suffer, I’ve
seen him humiliated so much, it’s begun to give
me tired head. But Meet the Fockers is a pleasant surprise.
It carries on a lot of the same gags from the first
film, but freshens things up by make the jokes about
more than how many ways there are to sizzle Stiller’s
Gaylord Focker.
