Personally, I'd love to see another sequel called "Meet the Relatives", with Al Pacino as Ben Stiller's whacky uncle. He'd be perfectly cast as Dustin Hoffman's brother.  Apple

Cannot vote 'cause I watched only "Meet the parents" but, just out of coincidence, I'm gonna watch "Meet the Fockers" over the weekend!  Well, "Meet the parents" was a decently amusing movie. Not memorably fun, but watchable. Anyway, I must admit seeing DeNiro in these type of movies depresses me. Oh, and the cat is WONDERFUL!!! 
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
