What You Need To Know:
This sequel is funnier than the original, but it still contains much crude humor. For example, there are many crude breast jokes because Grandfather Jack has made a model of his daughter’s breast so her baby will be more comfortable while feeding. Also, Greg accidentally teaches the baby a dirty word, which the baby often repeats, and the movie has many crude references to “f” words. Finally, the movie has a pagan, New Age worldview that validates the permissive view of Greg’s parents. Although the movie makes it clear that Greg’s parents are too permissive, their permissive attitude is ultimately validated over Jack’s strict disciplinarianism and paranoia.

More Detail:
MEET THE FOCKERS picks up where MEET THE PARENTS left off. In the sequel, Ben Stiller’s character, Greg, has finally popped the question to his girlfriend, Pam. Although he still doesn’t get along with his potential father-in-law, Jack Byrnes (played by Robert De Niro), he has decided it’s time for his parents to meet Pam’s parents. Instead of flying down to South Florida, Jack drives them down in his new super-duper RV. He and his wife are babysitting their other daughter’s two-year-old, whom the over-protective grandfather has been trying to teach sign language.
Of course, when they get to Greg’s parents’ house, Greg’s super-relaxed, permissive parents, Bernie and Roz (played by Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand), grate on Jack’s nerves and vice versa. No matter how hard Greg and Pam try, the parents can’t seem to get along. What they don’t know is that Jack thinks that, when Greg was a teenager, he fathered an illegitimate son by his family’s Mexican housekeeper.
