Part of Greg's embarrassment is the knowledge of his parents' "quirks" and how different they are from the Byrnses. Not only is their interaction genuine, their love for their child is as well. You will believe that Bernie and Roz (amazing performances by Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand) are Greg Focker's parents. But the cast is skillful and it plays more like a comic version of "Closer". Hilarity ensures, some crude, some overtly sexual. So it is no surprise that the Fockers are almost the complete opposite. In typical Hollywood sequel fashion, we already know that the Byrnses are somewhat reserved, set in their ways. Prior to the wedding of Greg and Pam, the two families will meet.
As you know, the premise of the movie is very simple. While I admit that I believed I would read comments and reviews about the crudeness of the material, I believe the reason this is not a typically tragic Hollywood farce is due to the strength of the performances and the interaction of the characters. The casting in this film, bringing together the stars of the original with Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg aka Gaylord Focker's parents, is sensational.
There are many movies where the performances are so good that the weaknesses of the movie itself are almost oblivious.
