Originally Published: March 30, 2005

Meet the Fockers, the highest-grossing live-action comedy of all time, makes its DVD and VHS debut April 19, 2005 and includes a hilarious extended version of the film. In addition to an extra 15 minutes of sidesplitting laughter not included in the theatrical version, the DVD is packed with bonus material including 65 bloopers and 10 more deleted scenes. Meet the Fockers, the sequel to the 2000 comedy smash Meet the Parents, reunites Robert De Niro as ex-CIA operative Jack Byrnes; Ben Stiller as his future son-in-law, male nurse Greg Focker; Blythe Danner as Jack’s wife; and Teri Polo as Greg’s fiancee. But this time they’re joined by Hollywood icons Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg’s eccentric and overbearing parents Bernie and Roz Focker. One of the most popular comedies ever, Meet the Fockers is ready to take its place on the shelf of all-time classics.
