I guess the title of today’s post is very accurate to what I’m doing to you this weekend. I’m fockerizing you, because today we’re moving on to the second part of the Focker story. If you haven’t seen the first one, better watch it before reading. *SPOILERS* begin. So those who know the first film should remember that Greg (Ben Stiller), or rather Gaylord Focker (I absolutely love this name), managed to get on with his future father-in-law Jack (Robert De Niro). At the end, Greg proposed to Pam (Teri Polo) and they’ve been engaged for 2 years. Their wedding is soon to happen, so they decide to introduce the Byrnes to the Fockers. That is why they go Miami, where Greg’s parents, Roz and Bernie (Barbra Streisand & Dustin Hoffman), are living. Even though Jack already likes Greg, this visit won’t be that easy for them. Firstly, Jack and Dina (Blythe Danner) are taking care of their grandson, little Jack (Pam’s sister’s child), so look out, there’s a baby in the story. Baby means mess. Chaos. Armageddon. Secondly, Greg’s parents are quite unusual, very hippie and very sexual. And what’s even worse, Jack starts suspecting that Greg has some secret he’s hiding from everyone… But you’ll see! *END OF SPOILER* You know how sequels are often worse than the original films? Because I’m always worried about any sequel that’s about to be released. This one is equally funny and Focking good (yes, I had to make this joke, forgive me). Besides, I think that Streisand and Hoffman as Greg’s parents were a fantastic choice. I absolutely loved them in those roles. What can I say? I love the Fockers! And I hope you too, or at least you’ll see the films after my posts. But don’t sit down yet, the fockerizing is not done yet. Get ready for tomorrow…
My rating: 8/10
