In this sequel to "Meet The Parents" Greg Focker faces a difficult task: he must now introduce the straight-laced Byrnes family to his wholly unconventional and totally eccentric parents. Ex-CIA agent Jack Byrnes and his wife travel to Florida to take a look at the people who had called their son Gaylord M. Focker. As the critics soundly state, the cast of the movie is brilliant (as well as in the previous one), but the movie itself is more contrived and predictable, and a lot less fun than the original. "The casting is grand, but one wishes more thought was put into the script". |

The biopic follows the life and career of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali (Will Smith) also known as ‘The Greatest’. He was the only boxer to become the world’s heavyweight champion three times. He was born in 1942 and was called Cassius Clay. When in 1954 somebody stole his new bike, Ali couldn’t stand up for himself, so he went to a gym to learn how to fight. Ali trained six days a week and was soon really good at running, skipping and, of course, boxing. In 1964 Clay converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The movie depicts his rise and fall in sports and politics, including forfeiture of his boxing license and championship title for his principled refusal to serve in the military during the Vietnam War and his comeback battles against Joe Frazier and George Foreman. |
