Meet the Fockers: it is time for the Byrnes; Jack [Robert De Niro] & Diana [Blythe Danner] to meet the Fockers; Bernie [Dustin Hoffman] & Rosalin [Barbara Streisand] to meet in Miami at the home of Bernie & Roslin which they open their house [on Focker Isle] to them and their daughter Pam [Teri Polo] and this goes without saying but I am going to say it anyway to their son Gaylord "Greg" Focker [Ben Stiller,] just to say yes this is his name so I cannot be held responsible for that, but moving on Jack and Diane decline to stay in their large RV [which is massive and one of those high quality and high tech ones] with their grandson Jack “Little Jack” Banks [Spencer Pickren & Bradley Pickren] and Mr Jinx the Himalayan cat [Bailey, Misha/Meesha the Himalayan cats; full disclosure these are the only names I could find.] But I digress which is possibly a good thing because the Fockers have a dog by the name of Moses [Terem Yorkie mixed dog.]

The pacing of this 115 minutes film is good, because of the character developments and performances; meaning this is good character developments and this is a very much a cast performance all good; basically it uses the formula of polar opposites the Byrnes are very matter-of-fact and everything has to be done with precision; uptight as it relates to Jack and suppressed as it relates to Diana. Meanwhile the Fockers as it relates to Bernie & Roslin are very warm, open and positive people and on top of that we still have the Jack and Greg dynamic going on as well; yes it has been moved on and developed.

Comedy and action; we have another  Mr Jinx toilets scene or/and sequence I am making reference to the one involving Moses and likewise another sports family sequence this time it is American football and don't worry of course someone is going to get hurt. A little bit after this; to stop this full flight breaking out between his father and Jack; Greg stand in the middle consequently gets kicked in the face from his father which in turn keeps up the nose injuries from the previous one and this one as well.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; it moves things on, it introduces new characters, it is just I can't make references to too many of the comedy or action material, because they are or have in one way or another are sexual and as you can see from my marking I don't see this as a bad thing; it's just I can't put it in this review, but I should point out through the first section of the closing credits there is an ongoing sequence.
