Rolling Stone's 356th greatest album of all time
A better album than the previous Randy Newman one I listened to. This is much more of an album in its own right and less of a Toy Story soundtrack demo. Includes his interpretation of "Mama Told Me Not to Come" - while not the original version, he wrote it. A very different version than that better known and made famous by Tom Jones.

Meet the Fockers is a less subtle, and far more slapstick affair than the first film, and it's just not as tight. It's comedy relies a little too much on callbacks to Meet the Parents and a lot of the characters are extremely cartoon-y, however, and perhaps most importantly, it's still a good time.
Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman are welcome additions as the Focker parents, and their liberal lifestyle works at odds with Jack Byrne's uptight nature. It provides the bulk of the funny moments this time around.
The plot is essentially the same as the first film, just set in Miami, and as such follows a predictable beat, but it's a safe one that provides an easy watch, backed by some reliably pleasant Randy Newman music.
An inferior sequel then, but one that serves its purpose. An easy re-watch option for when you've been scrolling through Netflix for far too long.
