Christian Review of Meet The Fockers

I read a christian review of Meet the Fockers. It is possible to make christian analogies from movies.


Everything is intended to be humorous, but it seems that this film has dropped to a low echelon of comedy in order to get laughs. Aside from this, there is also a touch of foul language.

One strong image that this movie provides is when Jack changes his mind and his attitude and realizes what a jerk he has been. At this, he slams on the brakes in his RV and turns it completely around in the middle of the road. It was an amazing stunt having this enormous vehicle skid and spin like it did, but it also provides a great picture of what it means to repent. Jack was being completely stubborn and traveling in one direction, and then changes his mind, turns and goes the complete opposite direction -- a great image of repentance.
