DVD Review

There can't be many recent comedies that have brought together such a wealth of headline talent as Meet The Fockers.

This sequel to the enjoyable Meet The Parents reunites Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Owen Wilson and introduces Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as the eponymous Fockers.

Once again the film balances slapstick, toilet humour and the culture clash of Stiller's neurotic Jew and De Niro's upright WASP, and then adds the touchy feely and open minded nature of Gaylord Focker's parents.

For those who like pet and toilet gags (and a combination of the two), lots of puns on the titular family name and very obvious culture clashes, the laughs will come quick and cheaply, but they're delivered perfectly by some of the finest screen actors of our time.

Bonus features include audio commentary by director Jay Roach and editor/co-producer Jon Poll; deleted scenes; Inside The Litter Box: Behind The Scenes With Jinx The Cat; The Manary Gland; Focker Family Portrait and Adventures Of A Baby Wrangler.
