Passable sequel to the smash hit original which, in my humble view, was one of the best comedies of the last twenty years or so.
Star names are added to the list of contriibutors, namely Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman and, whilst their performances are more than adequate, the change in dynamics from the first movie is not altogether successful.
There are some great moments though - De Niro's mobile military vehicle, his reaction to the sexual crudeness of Streisand's character, and many more besides.
Ben Stiller is still very likeable as the lead character, Greg Focker and overall this is enjoyable, it just disappoints slightly due to the quality of the original.
