Meet The Fockers

Has anyone seen this? I just watched it and I love that movie. It's hilarious and a worthy sequel to "Meet The Parents". If you haven't seen it, I would recomend it.

Well, it's the same concept, I can hardly remember "Meet the Parents" but the two movies are alike. "Meet the Fockers" is funnier but it has the same humor as "Meet the Parents".

Scott went to see it.... In fact, I think he's at the movies this moment. I'm so jealous!
I can't watch <u>Meet the Parents</u> more than once in a blue moon though, because the movie really horrified me. Maybe <u>Meet the Fockers</u> will take it to a level where I don't have to fear my parents... or maybe I'll just wait until I move out.

i cannot WAIT to see this movie, it looks absolutely wonderful!

I'm not expecting much from it, but it could be very funny like Meet The Parents. I like that a lot. :)

I also saw Meet the Fockers. It was a good movie but its not one of my favourites.

I was going to go see it today but then I got the sniffles. =[

It looks funny but I don't think it can beat the original. ^^

I don't know. I haven't seen it, but if I do it'll be on video or movie channels. I'm not paying theater money to see it. I really liked meet the parents. I thought it was hilarious, but the sequeal doesn't look too good. It looks like one of those sequeals that just recycles a bunch of jokes and gags fom the original. If I'm wrong and it's really good then that'd be great, but I don't have my hopes up.

I hear ya, that was my prediction too. We've had way too many comedy sequels (*COUGH*bridgetjones'sdiary2*COUGH*) that just recycled the same jokes from the first. And according to the reviews (which are abysmal), this is yet another. By the way, I should give a warning that several critics have said this movie deserves an "R" rating, not "PG-13," if it matters.

I think I want to see it. The commercials make it look funny, but then again...sometimes commercials play the ONLY funny parts of the whole movie.
I lauged on the commercial when the cat flushes the dog and the whole Seabiscuit joke. *shrugs* Dunno if I wanna spend 10 bucks to see it though.

You pretty much summed up my thoughts. If I hear some positive feedback, I may go see it at the dollar theater.

I saw it last night and I thought it was hilarious.

I just went to see it and personally I thought it was funnier than the Meet the Parents! The secrets just keep getting bigger and the family problems better :P But next it'll be "Jack thinks Focker is going to blow up the world and eat babies, but it turns out he's only doing one of those"

I dunno... my sister and mom LOVED Meet The Parents, but I found it disturbing... Animal Cruelty for all.... *shudder* I think Meet The Fockers will be worse.
