QUICK TAKE:
Comedy: As he prepares for his twin kids' 5th birthdays, a hospital employee must contend with his suspicious father-in-law, an attractive drug rep who comes on to him, and his wife's rich ex-boyfriend who keeps returning to the picture, along with other distractions, complications and more that threaten to drive him crazy.
PLOT:
Aside from the usual issues raising his young twin kids, Sam (DAISY TAHAN) and Henry (COLIN BAIOCCHI), Greg Focker (BEN STILLER) seems to have his life in order. He's nearing completion -- through the work of Randy (HARVEY KEITEL) and his construction crew -- of refurbing an old house for his new home with wife Pam (TERI POLO), while he's moved up from male nurse to supervisor at the hospital where he works.

Yet, he's concerned about money, what with Pam wanting to send the kids to the highly recommended but ultra-expensive Early Human School run by Prudence (LAURA DERN). Thus, when drug rep Andi Garcia (JESSICA ALBA) comes knocking and wants Greg to give speeches promoting her company's new erectile dysfunction drug, Sustengo, he sees potential tuition bills being made. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Andi is bubbly and drop dead gorgeous.

But Greg is most focused on the upcoming 5th birthday party celebration for his kids, all of which means Pam's parents, Jack (ROBERT DE NIRO) and Dina (BLYTHE DANNER), have already arrived, although formerly antagonistic feelings seem to have settled down between the two men.

Meanwhile, his parents are also on their way, once Roz (BARBARA STREISAND) is done with her sexual advice TV show and Bernie (DUSTIN HOFFMAN) completes his flamenco lessons in Spain. Then there's Pam's rich ex-boyfriend, Kevin Rawley (OWEN WILSON), whose recently failed marriage proposal has him returning to her for comfort.

With the party approaching, Greg must contend with that, Andi becoming ever-more friendly (and then some) toward him, and Jack becoming suspicious that Greg no longer finds Pam attractive and is looking elsewhere for company, all enhanced by a series of misunderstandings.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they're fans of "Meet the Parents," "Meet the Fockers," anyone in the cast or goofy comedies, they might be interested.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For mature sexual humor throughout, language and some drug content.
CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
  • BEN STILLER plays a hospital supervisor who's looking forward to his twins' 5th birthday party at the family's nearly refurbished new home. Yet, he's also looking at needing extra money to put his kids through private school, and thus contemplates doing paid presentations for a new erectile dysfunction drug. That puts him into contact with the attractive Andi, and he must deal with her coming on to him, as well as his father-in-law (when not wanting Greg to be ready to replace him as family patriarch) believing the two are having an affair. At the same time, he must contend with his belief that Kevin is once again after his wife. He drinks some.
  • ROBERT DE NIRO plays his father-in-law, an ex-CIA agent who seems to have accepted Greg for what he is, and even asks if he's ready to replace him as the family's patriarch should anything happen to him, what with having recently suffered a minor heart attack. But he then gets suspicious that Greg and Andi are having an affair, all of which makes him return to his belief that Pam would be better off with Kevin than Greg. He uses some profanity and starts a fight with Greg.
  • TERI POLO plays Greg's wife and mother to their two kids. She's shocked to find out how attractive Andi is, all while her dad tries to convince her she'd be better off with Kevin.
  • OWEN WILSON plays Pam's worldly ex-boyfriend, a rich investment banker who, after breaking up with his girlfriend, is seemingly after Pam like before.
  • JESSICA ALBA plays an attractive and perky drug rep who wants Greg to be a spokesperson for her company's erectile dysfunction drug, and then ends up sexually attracted to him. She drinks, takes that ED drug herself, and comes on to Greg in that state.
  • BLYTHE DANNER plays Jack's wife who must put up with his suspicious mind about others, and decides they should spice up their love life.
  • DUSTIN HOFFMAN plays Greg's father who's having something of a midlife crisis and thus is spending time in Spain learning the flamenco dance.
  • BARBARA STREISAND plays his wife who's stayed home to continue working on her sex advice TV show during which she occasionally brings up her son and his issues.
  • DAISY TAHAN plays Greg and Pam's 5-year-old daughter who's decided not to speak to her father and instead just blows raspberries at him.
  • COLIN BAIOCCHI plays her twin brother who isn't as intellectually developed as her and is surprised by his accidental view of his father administering a medical shot to his grandfather's penis.
  • LAURA DERN plays the owner of a private school into which Greg and Pam want to enroll their kids.
  • HARVEY KEITEL plays a construction foreman who may or may be taking advantage of Greg and Pam refurbishing their new home.

    (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).


    OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
    Here's a brief summary of the content found in this comedy that's rated PG-13. Profanity consists of at least 11 "s" words, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered. A great deal of sexually related dialogue is present, as is related comedy (including the sight of the shape of a man's erection in his pants), while some scantily clad women are seen.

    Comedy-based fighting occurs and has some bloody results, as does an accidental cutting, while there's some less severe contact. There's potentially imitative behavior as well as crude humor, while there are two lightly played heart attack/chest pain scenes.

    Bad attitudes are present, as is tense family material and thematic elements, while drinking occurs (including to the point of intoxication).

    If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.


    ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE
  • Greg, Pam, Jack and Dina have wine with dinner.
  • We see a neon beer sign in a bar window.
  • People drink in a bar, including Greg who has a drink while Andi has wine. After saying she can't believe she slept with a guy there (in the past, following drinking tequila and rum chasers), she asks Greg to order her a margarita.
  • We see a tattoo of Pam's face on Kevin's lower back, with him saying he got that during a drunken bender.
  • Greg sarcastically refers to Kevin's "bubble butt" girlfriend and doing shots off Deepak Chopra's butt.
  • Andi stops by Greg's under construction home with food and wine. After they finish one bottle, she opens another and then takes some ED medicine (to get her even more aroused for Greg) and shoots two shots of some nasal medication up her nose. She then aggressively comes on to him in that state.
  • Dina holds a tropical looking drink at a party, while Roz also has a drink.
  • BLOOD/GROSS STUFF
  • A male patient yells, "Will you get out of my ass?" and we then see a male nurse trying to insert an enema (no direct contact is seen as he's facing the camera and the action is taking place behind him). Greg and Andi then go to help, with her taking control and telling the man to "focus on relaxing your anus" and she and Greg exchange non-explicit comments that are played on the part of the film as sexual/sensual in nature, finishing with her saying she's going to stick it in further.
  • After Greg persuades his son to eat some food at dinner (despite Pam saying the boy is queasy), the kid projectile vomits all over his father's face.
  • 5-year-old Sam says he has a question at dinner and then asks, "Can a girl poop from her vagina?"
  • Jack tells a story of a lizard laying eggs in his ear in the past.
  • Suddenly distracted while carving the turkey, Greg accidentally slices his finger. We don't see the actual cut, but do see blood squirt everywhere, including onto Jack (played for laughs). We later see a bloody bandage on Greg's finger.
  • We see a brain being handled by a teacher in a science class.
  • Greg tells a white lie to his young son that he was helping Jack make "wee-wee" (about the boy seeing him administering an adrenaline shot to Jack's penis to alleviate a chronic erection -- not seen).
  • Meeting Prudence, young Henry asks her to pull his finger, so she does and he lets out a fart.
  • Greg has a little bit of blood on his face (temple, cheek and lip) after fighting Jack.
  • Bernie shows young Henry and Sam a whoopee cushion, explains what it is, and has Jack lift his leg as he (Bernie) compresses the gag item, which makes a farting sound. Bernie then says they all need to laugh at what makes them human, including gas, burping and picking one's nose and flicking the buggers, although he adds those should be the dry and not wet kind. He then says he snipped some of Jack's "pubes" while he was out (in order to do hereditary testing).
  • DISRESPECTFUL/BAD ATTITUDE
  • On Jack's request, Greg tells Pam a white lie about why Jack is calling and what he wants.
  • Jack tells Greg they should plant an explosive in his other son-in-law's stove to make it look like an accidental gas explosion (for the man cheating on Jack's daughter), but then adds that he's joking.
  • Jack lets Randy know he thinks the latter is taking advantage of Greg (in terms of leaving a huge hole in his backyard when they're having a party there in two days). The two men get into it and Greg has to separate them.
  • Roz talks about her son's sex life on her TV show (without his permission).
  • Young Sam refuses to talk to her father and instead blows raspberries at him.
  • Too proud to tell Jack that he (Greg) might be a spokesperson for ED medication, Greg tells a white lie to him about going to a dinner.
  • Jack tries covertly to follow Greg when he goes out for the evening, and tells white lies about why he's out.
  • Greg's brother-in-law is a bit disrespectful toward Greg (for being a nurse while he's a doctor) and then states his experience with Jack wasn't like a golden child, but "more like his golden bitch."
  • Jack thinks Greg is having an affair with Andi (based on several misunderstandings).
  • Kevin seems back after Pam (his ex-girlfriend who's married to Greg), although his actions could all be innocent.
  • Jack says that Henry has a "double dose of Focker" in him (meaning in a bad way).
  • Jack is condescending toward Greg.
  • Seeing Andi, a male nurse tells Greg, "Hottie -- 2 o'clock." As Greg talks to her, that man does various exaggerated pelvic thrusts not in her line of sight.
  • Jack tells Pam it's not too late for a course correction in her life (meaning replacing Greg with Kevin).
  • Kevin says he'd do something like his friend "J.C" (meaning Jesus Christ -- some viewers might not like the abbreviation despite Kevin not using that in a derogatory fashion).
  • Greg sarcastically refers to Kevin's "bubble butt" girlfriend and doing shots off Deepak Chopra's butt.
  • Jack starts a physical fight with Greg.
  • Kevin suddenly kisses Roz (who's surprised), with Bernie then walking in to see that (nothing else happens and Kevin apologizes).
  • FRIGHTENING SCENES
  • Scenes listed under "Violence" may be unsettling or suspenseful to younger viewers and/or those with low tolerance levels for such material, but few others.
  • Jack feels he's having a heart attack, so he opens his shirt and applies two small electrical lines to his chest to defibrillate himself (we don't see the actual shock). The scene is played lightly, but anyone who's directly or indirectly experienced a heart attack could find the scene unsettling.
  • Kevin suddenly cracks 5-year-old Sam's neck while holding the boy, but only to put him immediately to sleep (played for laughs because it's almost as if he breaks the boy's neck).
  • Losing his concentration after doing acrobatic moves up on a tall pole, Kevin falls from that and lands hard on padding (he's okay if a little stunned and/or sore).
  • Jack develops chest pains again after fighting Greg (but is okay).
  • GUNS/WEAPONS
  • Jack tells Greg they should plant an explosive in his other son-in-law's stove to make it look like an accidental gas explosion (for the man cheating on Jack's daughter), but then adds that he's joking.
  • We see tiny army men toy figures, one of which holds a bazooka.
  • IMITATIVE BEHAVIOR
  • Phrases: "Ah sh*t," "He pulled the same sh*t on you, didn't he?" "Oh sh*t," "Can a girl poop from her vagina?" "It's all good under the hood" (sexual), "Boner medication," "Sexpress yourself" (TV show name), "Andi gives daddy his boners," "Hottie," "You told me she sold boner medicine, you didn't say she is boner medicine" "Sloppy seconds," "Will you get out of here so I can schtup my wife?" "Keep your snake in the cage," "Will you get out of my ass?" "Focus on relaxing your anus," "Bad ass," "Scumbag," "Lowlife," "A hell of a time to go through manopause," "Oh crap," "Here's the dealio," "Are you prepared to be the godfocker?"

"Screw it," "Kind of freaks me out," "Bro," "I screwed up," "More like his golden bitch," "You listen to me, young Turk," "Hank the tank," "A freaking rock star," "What the hell are you doing?" and "Suck it!"
  • Randy has a tattoo.
  • A miscellaneous woman has a small tattoo on her shoulder.
  • Jack feels he's having a heart attack, so he opens his shirt and applies two small electrical lines to his chest to defibrillate himself (we don't see the actual shock).

  • Seeing Andi, a male nurse tells Greg, "Hottie -- 2 o'clock." As Greg talks to her, that man does various exaggerated pelvic thrusts not in her line of sight.
  • Andi stops by Greg's under construction home with food and wine. After they finish one bottle, she opens another and then takes some ED medicine (to get her even more aroused for Greg) and shoots two shots of some nasal medication up her nose. While intoxicated and barely dressed, Andi playfully pushes Greg backwards and down into a deep construction hole in the backyard, and then does a purposeful belly-flop down onto him (landing hard and apparently knocking out both).
  • At a party, Kevin dives through a vertical hoop that's lit, and then does various somersaults and such.
  • Bernie shows young Henry and Sam a whoopee cushion, explains what it is, and has Jack lift his leg as he (Bernie) compresses the gag item, which makes a farting sound.

  • MUSIC (INAPPROPRIATE)
  • None.
  • PROFANITY
  • At least 11 "s" words, 2 slang terms for sex ("schtup"), 3 slang terms using male genitals ("snake," "weenie" and an additional possible "d*ck"), 1 slang term for breasts ("boobs"), 3 hells (and 1 additional use of "hellish"), 2 asses, 2 craps, 1 damn, 1 S.O.B., 2 uses each of "Jesus" and "Oh my God" and 1 use each of "Jesus Christ" and "My God."
  • Although no "f" words are used, the last name "Focker" is said various times, somewhat sounding like the former word.
  • SEX/NUDITY
  • Andi wants Greg to rep an erectile dysfunction drug named Sustengo. They talk about that, including that it increases penile blood flow and is designed to keep the heart rate down during intercourse, while we briefly glimpse a fairly anatomical/realistic rendering of a penis in related materials.
  • A male patient yells, "Will you get out of my ass?" and we then see a male nurse trying to insert an enema (no direct contact is seen as he's facing the camera and the action is taking place behind him). Greg and Andi then go to help, with her taking control and telling the man to "focus on relaxing your anus" and she and Greg exchange non-explicit comments that are played on the part of the film as sexual/sensual in nature, finishing with her saying she's going to stick it in further.
  • On her sex advice show, Roz talks about enhancing one's love live and displays a box of musical condoms. She adds that the faster one goes (having sex), the louder they get.

  • We see Jack's bare chest (open shirt) as he uses electrical lines to defibrillate himself (we don't see the actual shock).

  • 5-year-old Sam says he has a question at dinner and then asks, "Can a girl poop from her vagina?"
  • Kevin says that Prudence is his friend and ex-lover, and then adds that he's good friends with all of his ex-lovers.
  • About his other son-in-law, Jack says that Bob sought sexual fulfillment outside of marriage.
  • Jack asks Greg, "Are you still physically attracted to my daughter?" Greg says he is, with Jack asking if that's true even after her body changed following childbirth. Greg then states, "It's all good under the hood," with Jack saying that's disgusting.
  • We see a shirtless male model for an art class.
  • Roz shows some cleavage on her show that's called "Sexpress Yourself." She talks about the difficulties of sex after having children and making love while children are in the house. She then says that the parents should have affairs, but then adds with each other, doing some role and fantasy playing. She then says that Greg has such issues as his intimacy numbers are down.
  • The ED medicine Sustengo is referred to as "boner medication."
  • After overhearing her mom talking to her dad on the phone (about the ED medicine Greg might be a spokesperson for -- although the daughter doesn't understand that or what she next utters), young Sam tells Jack that "Andi gives daddy his boners."
  • Andi asks Greg if he knows any "sexually frustrated old dudes" with a heart condition.
  • Following Roz's earlier TV show advice about role playing, Dina does just that (inside, in an overcoat with what looks like lingerie beneath that -- only partially seen) to Jack who initially isn't sure what to make of her actions. She says they only have an hour and then goes off to another room, while he looks again at some ED medicine samples he earlier discovered.
  • About a guy she sees in a bar, Andi tells Greg she can't believe she slept with him in the past (following drinking tequila and rum chasers). She then asks Greg to order her a margarita (implying what's on her mind).
  • Jack confronts Greg about the ED medication he found, asking Greg if he needs it because he's no longer sexually attracted to Pam. Greg says that's not the case, but then notices Jack's erection in his pants (we don't see that at first, but then see the shape of it). Greg then asks how long he's had that, Jack says it's been five and a half hours (after saying Dina wanted to make love), and Greg says that's potentially dangerous and that they need to go to the emergency room. Jack refuses, asking if Greg has any adrenaline shots and Greg reluctantly agrees to administer one. We next see them in the bathroom where Greg does that, Jack lets out a scream and young Henry (who happens across the scene seeing his dad kneeling down in front of his grandfather's crotch) is shocked by the sight (we don't see anything explicit). After everyone is up from the noise, Pam asks her mom if she and her dad can keep it down (meaning sexually from before) as we see Dina with messy hair. Greg then tells a white lie to his son about what he saw, saying he was helping Jack make "wee-wee."
  • Jack looks up info on Andi online, including some sexy cheerleader photos of her (nothing explicit).
  • Jack thinks Greg is having an affair with Andi (based on several misunderstandings).
  • Prudence has young Henry do a drawing as part of his school audition, and we then see the result: A stick figure drawing of Greg and Jack with the former giving the latter a shot in his erect penis (based on the above, all stick figure based, so it's just a straight line for the penis). During this, the boy mentions "weenie" for the penis.
  • Seeing Andi, a male nurse tells Greg, "Hottie -- 2 o'clock." As Greg talks to her, that man does various exaggerated pelvic thrusts not in her line of sight.
  • Pam is shocked to see how attractive Andi is after Greg earlier said she was nothing special and would be hard to pick out of a line-up. She adds, "You told me she sold boner medicine. You didn't say she is boner medicine."
  • About having heard Jack previously told his other son-in-law that he (Jack) wanted him (that guy) to run the family following Jack's demise, Greg says it's nice to know he's Jack's "sloppy seconds" (not meant in a literal sexual sense).
  • Greg sarcastically refers to Kevin's "bubble butt" girlfriend and doing shots off Deepak Chopra's butt.
  • Andi stops by Greg's under construction home with food and wine. After they finish one bottle, she opens another and then takes some ED medicine (to get her even more aroused for Greg) and shoots two shots of some nasal medication up her nose. In that state, she then kisses Greg, but he tells her to stop. She then says she's wanted him since early on and removes her shirt, and we see her cleavage in her bra. He wants her to put her shirt back on, but she instead jumps up on him (with Jack, who's peering in from outside, thinking they're fooling around as she has her legs around his waist as they stumble about). They end up outside where she removes her skirt (down to her small panties), playfully pushes Greg backwards and down into a deep construction hole in the backyard, and then does a purposeful belly-flop down onto him (landing hard and apparently knocking out both). The next morning, he wakes up with her still on top of him (an aerial view with her legs spread over him, including a view of her panty-covered butt). Bernie then shows up, and Greg (still clothed) climbs out of the hole, followed by her in her bra and panties before she gets dressed and comments on being messed up the night before. As they walk off, Bernie says that's good as he was getting a "semi" (erection) from seeing her.
  • At Kevin's party for the twins, we see some women dressed like Hawaiian hula girls with coconut type tops over their breasts, while Pam shows a little cleavage.
  • Bernie states that with the flamenco dance, the faster one goes, the more sexual prowess it shows.
  • After stretching his quadricep by pulling his heel up toward his back, Bernie asks another man for help putting his leg back down, saying it's an old sex injury.
  • Kevin suddenly kisses Roz (who's surprised), with Bernie then walking in to see that. Kevin apologizes, followed by Bernie passionately kissing Roz and then telling Kevin, "Will you get out of here so I can schtup my wife?" Kevin then repeats the word "schtup."
  • Bernie states they found out Jack is part Jewish (by snipping off and testing some of his "pubes" - not seen) and that his Jewish name is Yaakov (the joke presumably being that it sort of sounds like "jack off").
  • We see video footage from Greg doing a speech at an ED drug presentation, talking about his early meeting with Jack. He states that Jack told him to keep his "snake" (penis) it its cage (pants) for the next 72 hours, sarcastically adding that Jack was someone whose "snake" hadn't been out of its cage for a long time. That's followed by a hip video remix of Greg's speech where he says Jack is obsessed with sex and "boobs."
  • SMOKING
  • None.
  • TENSE FAMILY SCENES
  • About his other son-in-law, Jack says that Bob sought sexual fulfillment outside of marriage.
  • Jack tells Pam it's not too late for a course correction in her life (meaning replacing Greg with Kevin). Later, and hearing that, Greg is upset and goes to spend the night by himself at their unfinished house.
  • Pam is shocked to see how attractive Andi is after Greg earlier said she was nothing special and would be hard to pick out of a line-up. She adds, "You told me she sold boner medicine. You didn't say she is boner medicine."
  • Kevin suddenly kisses Roz (who's surprised), with Bernie then walking in to see that. Kevin apologizes, followed by Bernie passionately kissing Roz and then telling Kevin, "Will you get out of here so I can schtup my wife?" Kevin then repeats the word "schtup."
  • Thinking Greg is cheating on Pam, Jack picks a physical fight with him.
  • TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT
  • Erectile dysfunction and the drugs marketed to cure that.
  • Making assumptions without all of the facts.
  • Family members (especially in-laws) getting along (or not) with each other.
  • Jack wanting Greg to be ready to replace him as the leader of the family should anything happen to Jack.
  • About his other son-in-law, Jack says that Bob sought sexual fulfillment outside of marriage.
  • Prudence initially thinks Jack and Greg are gay lovers.
  • About a guy she sees in a bar, Andi tells Greg she can't believe she slept with him in the past (following drinking tequila and rum chasers). She then asks Greg to order her a margarita (implying what's on her mind).
  • Jack thinks Greg is having an affair with Andi (based on several misunderstandings).
  • Heart attacks and chest pain.
  • VIOLENCE
  • Suddenly distracted while carving the turkey, Greg accidentally slices his finger. We don't see the actual cut, but do see blood squirt everywhere, including onto Jack (played for laughs).
  • Kevin suddenly cracks 5-year-old Sam's neck while holding the boy, but only to put him immediately to sleep (played for laughs because it's almost as if he breaks the boy's neck).
  • While backing up a dump truck, Greg accidentally hits the wrong lever and dumps a ton of sand onto Jack (played for laughs).
  • After getting permission, young Henry climbs an indoor rock wall at Prudence's school, and then falls from that, landing hard (we partially see the impact, and then see/hear that he fractured his arm).
  • While intoxicated and coming on to him, Andi playfully pushes Greg backwards and down into a deep construction hole in the backyard, and then does a purposeful belly-flop down onto him (landing hard and apparently knocking out both).
  • Losing his concentration after doing acrobatic moves up on a tall pole, Kevin falls from that and lands hard on padding (he's okay if a little stunned and/or sore).
  • Jack punches Greg in the face twice, but the latter blocks the third punch and then punches Jack back. Jack then punches Greg again, and then blocks Greg's punch, and grabs and then throws him into a pit of plastic children's balls. After moving about under those balls, Jack pops up and slaps Greg simultaneously on both sides of the head (maybe on the ears). He then punches Greg and starts to strangle him, but Greg punches him back. Greg then knees Jack who flips his foot back to kick Greg in the face, followed by hitting Greg in the crotch. They then continue to struggle until they see Jack's cat with Henry's pet lizard half-way in its mouth (the lizard is later okay) and then when Jack develops chest pains again (he's okay). This is all played for comedy.
