Roach's director commentary is detailed in its discussion of the filmmaking process and in its insightful profile of the film's stars, Streisand-Hoffman-DeNiro-Stiller-et al. We learn that Streisand  was completely open to a new look for the film. She also consulted with well known sex therapists, ever in search of a perfect performance. Roach also tells that improvisation was welcome on the set. With such an extraordinary cadre of talent at his disposal, Roach was smart enough to allow these Oscar winners some license with the script. Much of the spontaneity on the set  found its way into the film's final cut, including Hoffman's coining of the now immortal phrase, "Fockerized."

Viewers of the DVD will enjoy a good two-plus hours exploring the additional DVD features. The deleted scenes are plentiful, including a delightful alternate ending and an extended (and side splitting) look at the first Focker-Byrnes dinner scene. The blooper reel contains about 10 minutes of mostly forgettable performer flubs and gaffs. One moment from the outtakes worth mentioning, however,  belongs to Barbra.  You'll enjoy watching Barbra laugh hysterically during one of the cast member's cleverly delivered double entendres, while Blythe Danner looks on with animated amusement.

Interviews with the cast members, including a segment from the NBC Dateline special, round out the best of the bonus features, ultimately making the DVD of "Meet the Fockers" a worthy addition to your video library.

Two separate versions of the Meet the Fockers DVD are currently on store shelves - full screen and wide screen (letterbox). For video purists, be sure to get the wide screen version. Nothing beats watching a film in its original theatrical aspect, another benefit of the DVD format.
