Oh just fock off. Weirdly Little Fockers gives me hope because I know that least I try hard with an idea and do not settle for less like the writers of Little Fockers. Little Fockers is set five years after the events of Meet the Fockers.
But after Jack Robert De Niro has a heart attack, he decides that that Byrnes family needs a new patriarch: Greg is the only man available for the job. Jack makes Greg perform tasks to prove him, by getting his kids into a good school and make himself financially secure. To do that Greg moonlights to promote a new Viagra drug for heart patients after being recruited by sexy pharmaceutical representative Andi Garcia Jessica Alba. But there is distrust because of her good looks. Now I confess that I am not a big fan of the 'Meet the Parents' series and the only reason I went to see it with people was because there were no good screening times for Tron Legacy or The Way Back.
I had low exceptions and Little Fockers met them. Little Fockers follows the same formula of accidents and misunderstandings, with Greg and Jack constantly fighting and mistrust: surely wouldn't men have learn by now, they are meant to smart. Most of the humour is juvenile, mostly farting related. Fine for young kids, but at the same time there are a lot of sex jokes which takes away the family audience.
This type of comedy and this series is stale: it is another example of a film franchise becoming too successful for its own good. It was obviously with his workman like direction and a lack of care in about the script and the performances that he made this film just for the money: well there is a recession.
There was nothing inventive about this film. Performance wise there isn't much to say, all the regular actors do their usual routine. This is one of Stiller's worst film, he needs to make more films like Tropic Thunder and I do wonder if Robert De Niro made a deal with the devil, he could star in films like the Godfather Part 2 and Raging Bull, but in the later had to make this rubbish.
I hope Martin Scorsese comes in and saves his career. Owen Wilson was on auto-pilot and Jessica Alba was in the film just because of her looks. Surely Alba should get a better agent because all she does is strip off in her films as a man I enjoy it, but as an enlightened person there has got to be more to her then her body. Basically the only highlight of the film was the use of a smart child for some of the comedy: smart children are often more funny then dumb children in films.
Details Edit. Release date December 22, United States. United States. Official Facebook Official site. Quotes Dina Byrnes : I had no idea you could milk a cat! Crazy credits During the opening logos, the singers in the theme music are lyrically commenting "Look at the light coming out of the earth" during the Universal logo, and "Look at the boy sitting on the moon" during the Dreamworks logo.
Alternate versions In the version that airs on the ABC Family channel, the scene near the end in which Greg gets into an argument with the airline stewardess and his subsequent interrogation by an airline official removes all references to the fact that Greg mentioned the word "bomb" on the airplane.
User reviews Review. Top review. De Niro The Comedian. Odd to state that "Robert De Niro is the star of this comedy," but that's the case here. One doesn't normally associate him with comedy, but he's a pretty versatile actor, and can play a lot more characters than Mafia-type thugs. He's also a pretty darned good comedian, as he first proved way back in the early '80s with Rupert Pupkin in "The King of Comedy.
No sense going into detail as there are plenty of other reviews here. I hate to see the "hero" of a movie being a character who is chronic liar Stiller's "Greg Focker" but that's not unusual in the world of films.
That, and Blythe Danner's excessive use of God's name as exclamations gets annoying. Other than that, it's a fun movie that turned out to be a hit and justifiably so. I imagine you could get a lot of laughs from watching this over and over. That would be better than watching the sequel. FAQ 1. Is "Puff, the Magic Dragon" really about marijuana? Details Edit. Families can talk about the kinds of laughs this comedy goes for.
Is the humiliation of these characters funny? How does their dishonesty keep them from getting along? Why does Greg's stressed-out nature make him more susceptible to laughs at his expense? Does it bother you that Pam doesn't stand up to her father more? Is she contributing in some way to Greg's misery?
How does this movie mine humor out of exaggeration, in the situations and the relationships among the characters? How would the movie be different without that exaggeration?
