Mon beau-père et nous

Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is more successful, and drug rep Andi Garcia (Jessica Alba) is proving to be a beautiful temptation. Jack (Robert De Niro) is distressed after Dr Bob left Debra and he has a heart attack. Jack decides to anoint Greg as the Godfocker. However, the return of Kevin (Owen Wilson) and the beautiful Andi leads to misunderstandings, doubts, and conflict.

This movie suffers from a lack of funny gags. The cat is barely here. The kids don't add much comedy. Jessica Alba is hot, but her character should be a lot more funnier. The movie needs it. The only saving grace is the family relationships. And in this one, I like Greg a lot more. It's like a get together with old friends but the new material isn't working. There is only so much that De Niro can do with his stink eyes.

I also don't understand the title. I assumed this was more about the kids. Instead the kids add little more. The better title would be 'The Godfocker'.

Little Fockers is the third in a series of films that star Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller & Teri Polo. First, Greg met Jack, his girlfriend Pam's dad, then Jack meant Greg's parents. Now, a random assortment of jokes have been compiled with no real plot or point. That being said, for a movie like this, this is not a bad thing. Little Fockers is like leftover cake, it feels similar and you know it's bad for you, but you just can't help but enjoy it when you're eating it. The movie consists of a set up of jokes that never stop, some funny, some bland, some in between. By far my favorite thing about these movies is Robert De Niro as Jack, Pam's father. De Niro is hilarious and does not care what other people think of him on screen. Of course, seeing both De Niro and Dustin Hoffman as Bernie, Greg's father. Two great actors such as De Niro and Hoffman sharing the screen together is just magical, no matter how stupid the movie is. The whole cast plays well off of each other and it makes for quite a funny movie. Overall, Little Fockers is a fun time at the movies regardless of how stupid it is and I think if you don't mind some stupid with your comedy, then you should definitely check it out.

"Little Fockers" pretty much follows in the footsteps of the previous two movies about the Byrnes and the Fockers. So if you enjoyed those two, then you will definitely enjoy this one as well.

The story is pretty straight forward and easy to follow. Greg and Pam now have twins and are dealing with family life. Then throw in a pair of suspicious in-laws and over-sexed in-laws, mix it up with a foxy temptress (played by Jessica Alba) and you have your movie right there. There were lots of funny moments in the movie, but somehow the previous two movies stands more out in my memory. There were just something more hilarious about those.

With the impressive cast list, the movie is hard to ignore. Robert De Niro playing Jack Byrnes, did a good job - but of course, he always does a good job acting. Ben Stiller, again putting on the role of Gaylord Focker, and doing the same as in the previous two movies - fighting with his father-in-law. Despite having relatively small roles, then Dustin Hoffman (playing Bernie Focker) and Barbra Streisand (playing Roz Focker) were marvelous as the parents of Gaylord Focker. The chemistry between Hoffman and Streisand is magnificent. I didn't really care much for Owen Wilson's character, nor was his performance that memorable. And throw in Harvey Keitel and Laura Dern for some small supporting roles, and they were great.

I found this third installment to the Focker series to be a tad below the standards of the previous two. But all in all, it is still an alright comedy.

Though 'Little Fockers (2010)' is clearly the worst in its series, it certainly isn't as bad as it seems most people perceive it to be (one reviewer even signalled it as a "depressing experience" that evokes an "overpowering sense of sadness"). Sure, it's contrived and derivative. However, it's also relatively fun. It's an easy-going comedy that provides a cast of charismatic characters, a heap of misunderstandings and a handful of chuckles. There may not all that much to say about the feature, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's enjoyable and well-paced, an amiable way to pass the time. Fans of the previous two films ought to be entertained, even if it is a step down. 6/10

I watched this in a theater and I didn't regret it. Before that, I saw the ratings here and read some critics, and it was bad. I went to see it anyway, expecting nothing of it. If I could stand watching 2 hours long The Limits of control, I can surely stand the Little Fockers. And guess what, I liked it! I had a few laughs, the theater was full and everyone was laughing, so, I'm a little puzzled by all this negativity on IMDb. If you liked the first two movies, you will like the third one also. You know what you can expect of the Fockers, right? The same old story. I would recommend to everyone to just watch it (if you liked the others) and then make a judgment. This ratings on IMDb are so misleading, and makes you watch bad films, or not watch the good or the perfectly watchable.
