2. Dunno about politics, but I find the title
to be REALLY tacky.

15. Nah, I don't go to the movies.
I got tired of having to beat the snot out of the bozo who kept sticking his knees into the back of my seat, which happened EVERY SINGLE TIME I ever went to a movie theater.

19. Well, I uh, actually I do, and I always intend to rent movies,
but somehow never get around to it. Or go to the video place and than can't decide. Or rent the movie and forget to watch it because I get involved with a book

I'm a bit scattered. In case you couldn't tell.

8. The Fockers were liberal...DeNiro was a freeper

It was rather obvious. Ms. Streisand's performance wasn't exactly a big acting stretch. :-)

11. Yeah...
It's a cute movie, and a fairly accurate cartoon of the differences between progressives and regressives.

14. I loved the movie
I didn't really notice any political undetones except that the Fockers were middle aged hippies.

17. I wasn't searching for them and therefore didn't find any...
I was too distracted by all the dick jokes and schlapstick. It was a good flick though. Not better than "Meet the Parents", but still good.
