What kind of watch this is
Meet the Fockers is a 2004 comedy-romance directed by Jay Roach. It runs 115 minutes and features Ben Stiller as Greg Focker, Robert De Niro as Jack Byrnes, and Dustin Hoffman as Bernie Focker. The plot centers on Jack and Dina Byrnes traveling to Florida to meet the parents of their son-in-law-to-be, Greg Focker. The tagline calls it misery loving family. It is a film about opposites that definitely do not attract.
What the critics said
Critics treated the sequel with the suspicion reserved for things that should have stayed in the first act. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 39%, with an average of 5.2 out of 10. Metacritic is slightly more generous at 41, a score it labels mixed or average. The consensus, per the Tomatometer, is that a talented cast gets wasted while the movie recycles jokes. Todd McCarthy of Variety noted the laughs are the type you feel embarrassed about almost immediately afterward. Audiences were kinder, giving it a B+ on CinemaScore.
How it did with audiences
An $80 million bet that returned $517 million worldwide is not just a win; it is a landslide. It became the second highest-grossing film starring Robert De Niro, trailing only Joker. The opening weekend alone pulled in nearly $46 million, a figure that would make a casino owner weep with joy. On TMDB, users rate it 6.2 out of 10.
