Barbara Streisand in Fockers vs Jane Fonda in Monster In Law?

*************************************************************************************

Who won or who did ok or who should have stayed retired.

What do you think?

bump - as this battle offically starts of the ex - stars from the movies of yesterday - 1960 / 1970 - as both have been out of the movies for almost 20 years.

I liked Babs a lot in Meet the Fockers, but Jane is the force behind Monster-in-Law, and I even felt she was better, though Streisand was good, too.

MONSTER-IN-LAW. I'm probably just saying that since I really enjoyed Fonda in MIL and FOCKERS sucked! It was so stupid and unfunny and is so overrated. Mainstream moviegoers are so dumb . Barbara was fine in it, but nothing amazing. Fonda had more to do in MIL and it was the better movie.

Using process of elimination, Fonda sucked.

So, yeah, Babs. :wink:

I have not seen Monster-in-Law yet, but I loved Barbara Streisand in Meet The Fockers. She was definitely my favorite thing about that film.

I think that they were both great in their roles

and it shows that they haven't lost their acting talents.

Barbara Streisand was good in the mediocre but pretty funny Meet the Fockers

JAne Fonda was bearable in the aweful Monster-In-Law


Barbara Streisand wins!!!

Interesting that there is such a difference of opinion.

Especially on Jane Fonda / Monster In Law.
