Meet the Fockers

Most of the jokes miss the mark in this one. Fortunately, unlike most bad comedies, it never becomes irritating, thanks largely to its stars (Hoffman is particularly enjoyable). Bland, but harmless. My grade: C

Synopsis: Having given permission to male nurse Greg Focker to wed his daughter, ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes and his wife travel to Detroit to "meet the parents", who this time around are Mr. and Mrs. Focker, who are as different from them as can be. (via Yahoo)
