WFAA.COM USER REVIEWS

I took my three best friends and my mother to see Meet the Fockers. My friends and I are all 17. I was shocked and surprised when the movie began getting more and more risqué and raunchy as time went on. We completely did not expect it to be that way. I expected it to be much like the first Meet the Parents movie, where there were little sexual jokes here and there. Not in the sequel! Oh no, it was sexual jokes all the way through and they got more frequent as time went on.
Besides the risqué humor, the movie actually didn't have all that great, or much of a plot. We were shocked when we came out of the theater, and we all felt kind of uncomfortable around my mother during and after the movie. Yes, it was a hilarious movie, if you like risqué humor movies, but I don't recommend teenagers going to see it because its just pointless. Truthfully, I am surprised it got a PG-13 rating. The humor was funny, but when it kept going on and on and on, it got annoying and old. I'm glad I saw Meet the Fockers, but I'm not sure I want to see it again, and defiantly not with my parents!
