Overview

Hard-to-crack ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes and his wife Dina head for the warmer climes of Florida to meet the parents of their son-in-law-to-be, Greg Focker. Unlike their happily matched offspring, the future in-laws find themselves in a situation of opposites that definitely do not attract. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Meet the Fockers is a 2004 American comedy directed by Jay Roach, the sequel to Meet the Parents. Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro return as Greg Focker and Jack Byrnes, now traveling to Florida for the two families to meet before Greg and Pam's wedding. There, Jack's rigid, surveillance-obsessed ex-CIA personality clashes spectacularly with Greg's parents — his uninhibited, sexually liberated mother Roz, a sex therapist for the elderly played by Barbra Streisand, and his free-spirited, stay-at-home father Bernie, played by Dustin Hoffman, who showers his son with embarrassing affection.

Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman's performances as the Fockers — warm, loud, and gloriously unashamed of everything Jack Byrnes finds mortifying — were the sequel's primary entertainment. The contrast between the uptight, WASP Byrnes family and the exuberant, boundary-free Fockers mined every possible culture-clash joke. Meet the Fockers earned $522 million worldwide on a $80 million budget.
