Flight Of The Phoenix
Mon Dec 27, 2004 2:39 pm
This is my first review, so bear with me...Well, I recently saw this near 2 hour film last Wednesday (the eve of Christmas Eve, also the day where I can legally drive 3 people without worrying about the cops pulling me over, a law recently put in effect here in IL (sucks)). Anyhoo, back on track. Does it better the first? Yes and no. It has elements (sex) that are more evident than in the original. Is it funnier? No...but like I say it has its own humor. Nothing like "Greg, I have nipples. Can you milk me?" but it is mostly focused on sex. Barbara Streisand plays Greg Focker (Ben Stiller)'s mom in this flick. Greg's father is played by Dustin Hoffman. The Plot: a continuation of the 1st movie. Basically, The Byrnses are Pam Byrnes (Blythe Danner) visiting the Fockers abode in Florida. The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together -- which all adds up to a disastrously funny time of "getting to know you."

Basically, if you enjoyed the first one, you'll like this one too.

nice points. Yeah humor was NOTHING like the 1st...but still I thought it was really funny.
In some points, you either had A)To know/seen Meet the Paretns B)Or just known what the humor was ment to be about
From Me....

12/28/04 - Flight Of The Phoenix Review
A group of air crash survivors are stranded in the Mongolian desert with no chance of rescue. Facing a brutal environment, dwindling resources, and an attack by desert smugglers, they realize their only hope is doing the "impossible"--building a new plane from the wreckage. In my opinion, this movie seemed to drag on a little bit, but it was well worth it in the end. It wasn't a horrible film, merely a passable one. It was OK.

Good movie to see if you've got nothing else to do.
