I watched these two movies over the weekend and each one could not be more different from the other. Both movies belong to the genre of comedy / drama , but the manner in which each movie approaches it is vastly different.
Sideways is set in California's wine country ( not dissimilar to the wine country up north in Napa), and is the story of two middle aged people who undertake a journey before one of them is to be married. The movie is very well made and stands out with it subtle humor. Worth a watch.
Meet the Fockers , a sequel to much more entertaining Meet the Parents, on the other hand is as crass as it can get. A comic movie is good when the comedy is subtle or over the top only occasionally. This movie takes it to the extreme. It is silly at most times and the sense of humor is crude. A bad movie.
