But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker. The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together.

It's an endless supply of sex jokes and having obnoxious horny parents. Most people liked this movie, but it definitely lacks the sweetness and funny disaster situations that made the first one so funny and likable. This just makes you feel dirty at the end of it, and wondering how the MPAA didn't give it an R rating.
Critic Reviews
For audiences that loved Meet the Parents, the movie is a welcome chance to revisit funny and familiar characters.full review
There is some fun in watching the veterans mix it up -- De Niro, who looks like he wants to fade into the scenery, Streisand, who tries to eat it -- but nothing is well developed here.full review
Playing up the socio-religious rifts of the first film, the sequel reflects the country's current political schisms.full review
The movie is pleasant enough, but never quite reaches critical mass as a comedy.full review
A weary retread without a fraction of the inventiveness that sparked the original.full review
Director Jay Roach gives the film no visual distinction whatsoever but packs on the jokes with tireless bustle.full review
From the start the jokes are on a different level than the last one: coarse, aggressive, and poorly timed by director Jay Roach.full review
