Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
This sequel's title indicates the content: smutty, silly and liable to make you smirk despite yourself.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
Very often vulgar and tasteless, and though there are some unexpected bursts of humor and even charm in the proceedings, it's light years away from Chekhov.

rotten:
[Hoffman and Streisand] make a wonderful team, but it's too bad the material isn't fresher and more worth their time and yours.

A vulgar farce that isn't remotely amusing.
