It's OK
I found Meet the Fockers to not be as funny as I had expected. A lot of the humor was based on really puerile sex jokes, and the plot wasn't all that clever. I went with a small GROUP of people and most of us were left sitting there wondering what was supposed to be so funny (as did most of the theatre, since there wasn't much laughing). I agree that Hoffman and Streisand were brilliant - most of the good laughs came FROM them - they really made the film worth sitting through.
