Ben Stiller makes introducing in-laws more embarrassing than his past five movies in this mildly anticipated, mildly funny follow-up to Meet the Parents. The sequel adds Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, and numerous babies and animals to the dysfunctional comedy formula, and the extras expose what it's like working with such a family-friendly cast. (Excluding Streisand, of course.) "Fockers' Family Portrait" lets you get more familiar with the Fockers, and outtakes catch the cast, crew, and animals screwing around—in the animals' case, sometimes literally. "The Manary Gland" takes the fun out of fake breasts by sitting down with the prop master to discuss one of the flick's best gags, and "Inside the Litter Box" reveals what it's like to work with a Siamese cat on set. An equally catty Matt Lauer does a cast interview and the reunion comes to a close with "The Adventures of a Baby Wrangler," which interviews the coach who handled the twin baby co-stars of the film—both of whom were easier to potty train than Hoffman.
