Meet the Fockers review

Meet the Fockers Review

Meet the Fockers is an American comedy film and is the sequel to Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers also has a follow up sequel Little Fockers. In Meet the Fockers Gaylord Focker (Greg) and his fiancée Pam Byrnes decide to introduce their parents to each other, upon arrival of the Focker household you can see that the Fockers are more eccentric than anticipated, with Greg's father Bernie doing martial arts in the front yard and his mother Roz teaching elder couples interesting 'yoga' positions. This is just typical of a 'family get together' in a comedy as obviously the families are going to be complete opposites and clash like the byrnes' for example, Pam's father Jack was a CIA operative whereas Greg's father was a stay at home dad, which to Jack isn't a 'manly' job to do. Their mother's however do get along as Pam's mother is more understanding and willing to except the marriage. This flying visit to meet turns into stay from hell, but to us a classic funny film. within the first half an hour Greg has delivered a baby as he is a nurse (again Jack disapproves) and he gets head-butted by Pam's nephew Little Jack (Hilarious) throughout the film more and more coincidental happenings occur, Jinxy the Byrnes' cat flushes Moses the Fockers' dog down the RV toilet (typical representative of how the families are opposite  cats and dogs, which are well known not to mix well) Bernie then later on 'accidentally' injures Jack's back by getting too competitive (trying to prove to Jack that he's a man) In this film so many cliches are men getting dressed up as women-Jack and his fake boob, someone goes to prison for the night-Jack, Greg and Bernie ALL end up in a cell for not listening to an irritating southern officer, an annoying dog will get mistreated-  Moses gets flushed down the toilet by Jinxy the cat, someone drunk will disrupt a ceremony of some sort-drunken and drugged up Greg (no thanks to Jack) ruins his own engagement party and embarrasses himself in front of his family and Pam's, much to the amusement of Jack. Meet the Fockers has very typical comedy traits such as Crude jokes, babies swearing, parental interference, weddings, comical fights and people falling over. Overall Meet the Fockers is a massive cliché of all comedies put together but gives a great effect.
