This is of course the sequel to Meet the Parents... a movie I always liked a lot. But it is the first time I ever got the chance to watch this one. While I did enjoy it.... I found it to be a good comedy... I don't think it is at the same level as Meet the Parents. It definitely didn't have as many laughs for me.... but there is a few in here. I did like Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg's parents.  Though I will admit that I was a bit worried when I saw them in the trailer. Not worried about the actors...  but more worried on how they did the characters, It seemed a little over the top to me. But once watching the movie I found I was concerned for nothing.  It seemed to work well for the movie. Basically I think if you enjoyed the first one... while not quite as good... you should enjoy this one as well.

For some reason this movie didn't really click for me. One of the reasons is probably because Bond is too much of an asshole in this one. He is really forcing himself onto women here. Even going so far as to blackmail a woman into sex.
And he stayed an asshole until the end. There Domino came with another man "who has helped her", and as the boat is about to crash, he pushes the man overboard telling him "I will get you later", and flies away to safety with Domino. The man probably wasn't pretty enough
Highlights: Q was fun as always. And Domino is one hot Bond girl!
