MEET THE FOCKERS on DVD
April 8th, 2005 by Andre Soares
Seeing is believing. The overlong, infantile, vulgar, unfunny, and hugely popular Meet the Fockers is worth watching for two reasons:
Reason no. 1 - Multiple award-winners Robert DeNiro, Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, and Blythe Danner can be seen together in the same film, and they all manage to stay afloat — no minor feat considering the general idiocy of the proceedings.
Reason no. 2 - Multiple award-winners Robert DeNiro, Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, and Blythe Danner can be seen together in the same film — with Ben Stiller, billed above Hoffman, Streisand, and Danner. Someone, somewhere has a really twisted sense of humor. (No, I’m not talking about, hah hah hah, chopped up foreskin, babies that say "asshole," or dogs being flushed down the toilet.)
