(1 - 38) of 38 OFCS Rating: 34% Rotten Page   1   "The most disappointing sequel of 2004."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B- "Amazing how altering one vowel from the king of all cuss words can spawn a movie franchise."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark C "Meet the Fockers is stuck somewhere between being absolutely hilarious and one of the worst comedies ever committed to celluloid. "   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "repetitious and just not that funny on the whole, especially since it's so derivative and out of character next to the original"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "Irrepressible Streisand brings her own potent barrage to this company of self-interested men, not to mention the melt-away women."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...just as mediocre and gratingly unfunny as its predecessor..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "A frantic, pointless sequel, funny in clumps, but mostly contrived and empty."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "A little coarser, a little more desperate and a lot less funny than its predecessor. But Dustin Hoffman saves the day."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Meet The Fockers is a fine sequel; not surpassing the original, but clearly putting forth more of an effort than most follow-ups do into the script department. "   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "Coasts on considerable star power to make us laugh with some consistency but never approaches the level of fearless comic abandon that made the first film so popular."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "...[a] star-studded but tediously uneven low-brow sequel...Meet the Fockers is pretty much a flavorless family affair to forget"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng F "Unbelievably raunchy...an avalanche of s******ing sexual humor masquerading as a family comedy."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/5 "Hoffman and Streisand provide some laughs in this sequel to Meet the Parents but the screenplay lacks comic zest."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "There are few things sadder than wasted potential, unless it's sitting through 115 minutes of mediocrity desperately searching for a few decent jokes."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "so exaggerated that it veers wildly and awkwardly into pure, outlandish farce"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/10 "Features three of the most frightening noses in the business (Streisand, Hoffman and Owen Wilson). Consider yourself lucky it's not in 3D."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/4 "'Quizá tenga una historia muy boba y situaciones absurdas llevadas al extremo, pero de eso se trata: de hacer reír con bobadas'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2/5 "Catch it on HBO for the sheer delight of everything Hoffman and Streisand do. It’s fun to meet the Fockers themselves, but the rest of the movie can stay home."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B "Streisand and Hoffman are a hoot, the most entertaining Haight-Ashbury movie refugees since Lily Tomlin and Alan Alda similarly tormented Stiller in Flirting With Disaster."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll 3/5 "No se trata de una obra de arte ni una competidora a los Oscar, pero…¿A quién le importa eso cuando lo que uno busca es reírse un poco?"   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 2/5 "Delivers fewer laughs than its predecessor."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Does little to alter the formula of the original, but the two films set a nice example of successful use of the concept of theme and variation."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik C+ "Mildly amusing...but joke repetition and a greater emphasis on outrageousness and vulgarity release a strong scent of the writers’ desperation."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer C "The audience laughed more because they wanted to find it funny than because they actually did."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Playing up the socio-religious rifts of the first film, the sequel reflects the country’s current political schisms."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "A pergunta é: você quer transformar o título brasileiro desta produção em realidade?"   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "Roach continues his regrettable Austin Powers habit of beating the same shtick to death until nothing of comedy value remains."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "While there is a serious subtext, cast and crew remember that this is essentially a frivolous comedy"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "This sequel, like most, is inferior to the original, but it is hard not to like these characters."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "Hoffman and Streisand...are a wonderful addition to the comedic mix with their relaxed, laid back lifestyle and penchant for randy sex"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1.5/5 "Meet the Fockers is get-rich-quick, no-thought-required sequel-mongering at its most mercenary. (Plus it's screamingly unfunny.)"   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Could have been much funnier than it is."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 1.5/4 "It's a toss-up as to who gets the worst end of the deal with Meet the Fockers: the audience or the film's all-star cast."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 0.5/4 "There's room left open, of course, for the eagerly-awaited conclusion to the Parent Focker trilogy. Here's hoping that when that blessed day arrives, I'll be good and dead."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 4/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 5/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 38) of 38 OFCS Rating: 34% Rotten Page   1
