Not as funny or iconic as the first, obviously, but still has some good laughs. Dustin Hoffman is really funny and a great balance to DeNiro. Some gags are not so good, like flushing the dog down the toilet, but not bad enough to ruin the whole thing.

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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A clash-of-cultures comedy about navigating family expectations when your in-laws are nothing like you. It's funny precisely because everyone's trying so hard to make a good impression while secretly horrifying each other.
