Embarrassing

A pathetic attempt to extend an already-dead franchise. The first film, Meet the Parents, had the type of socially-awkward comedy that seemed fresh and painfully funny. The socially-awkward moments attempted here are painstaking and obvious. (Ben Stiller's character slices his finger cutting a turkey and spouts cartoonish amounts of blood all over the rest of the family...haha?) All of the actors are obviously going through the motions here, playing caricatures of their franchise characters. It's sad to see such classic actors as Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman in a film like this. You know it's bad when they bust out the Robert De Niro erectile dysfunction scene.
