Meet the Fockers
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.

Greg babysits Little Jack who learns to say asshole
Everyone turns against Jack after the drugging revelation
The film peaks with Little Jack's scene-stealing antics then crashes when the family drama becomes heavy-handed and preachy.
Meet the Fockers delivers solid laughs through inspired casting of Hoffman and Streisand, with the child actor providing memorable moments. However, the film suffers from predictable plotting that recycles too many elements from the original. The final act becomes overly sentimental and contrived, undermining the earlier comedic successes.
