Watch options. Storyline Edit. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam, and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get in with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back.
When Greg and Pam's entire clan--including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin Owen Wilson --descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying, and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch, or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
Rated PG for mature sexual humor throughout, language and some drug content. Did you know Edit. Trivia Pam's sister Deborah, a supporting character in Meet the Parents , is mentioned in the film, but does not appear on-screen.
Nicole DeHuff , the actress who played her, died in Goofs While talking privately with Greg, Jack implies that his son, Henry, is just like his father, Greg. Jack reasons that he has been doing research on twins and found that sometimes, one child will get an extra chromosome from the father's DNA in the sperm. While that might apply to identical twins, it could not be possible for Greg twins. Greg's twins are male and female and developed from two different eggs that were fertilized by two separate sperm.
Quotes Roz Focker : [On the phone long distance, miffed that Bernie's in Spain learning to be a flamenco dancer] You picked a hell of a time to go through manopause! Crazy credits The end credits sequence has a scene where Jack watches a remixed video of Greg on Youtube making fun of Jack at a press conference. User reviews Review. Top review. Quality comedies -- if they go beyond one sequel -- never come in threes. In the case of "Little Fockers," three's a Focking mess.
But we asked for it; "Meet the Fockers" ranks as the highest-grossing live-action comedy in the U. And sure enough, "Little Fockers" cooks up tired modern gags, basically forgetting that the last decade of comedy including its two predecessors ever existed and that we could be won over by open mentions of sex ooh! Grandpa Jack Byrnes De Niro has grown concerned over the Byrnes family legacy as he's been having some heart issues lately and his first son-in- law, Dr.
Bob, has failed him after having an affair and getting a divorce. As such, before he and wife Dina Blythe Danner arrive for the twins' birthday, he tells Greg that he's ready to pass the torch to Greg, who's eager but still scared about winning Jack's full approval and becoming "The Godfocker.
The kids are hardly in the picture expect for cheap jokes and they're neither cute nor talented. In a family dinner scene where Greg with "Godfather" music in the background commands that Henry eat his lasagna, Henry succumbs but then spews vomit all over his father.
Whenever the film seems to breeze about with a bit more of a sense of humor, a tasteless joke shoots in that prompts us to do the same. Contrivances and predictable story lines litter "Fockers" and damper the occasional moments of humor.
The familiarity we have with Greg and Jack helps create that humor and some clever jokes actually do exist, but the script leans on typical "misunderstanding" plot devices, most of which were ironically used most effectively in "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers.
The "twists" of this film are set up so conspicuously that as they unfold, it's like you know what happens because you've seen it before. And you likely have, because there was probably something similar in it from a previous "Focker" film.
Outside of Jack spying on Greg, who tries to keep it a secret that he's trying to make extra cash by pushing a new erectile dysfunction drug for a gorgeous drug rep Jessica Alba , all the side characters and plots are garbage.
Owen Wilson returns as Kevin and the running joke other than him being some rich worldly hippie is that he's in love with Pam, which never amounts to anything. Although sequels are standard in Hollywood, with recent examples coming from franchises such as Spiderman and Harry Potter, follow-up films can be risky. Not only can they be costly, but critics seem to critique them more harshly. What's the best comedy film of all time? Vote now!
De Niro and Stiller reprise their roles as Jack Byrnes and Greg Focker, a father-and-son-in-law who fight incessantly but somehow endure an onslaught of painfully awkward experiences.
In "Meet the Fockers," De Niro injected Stiller with truth serum to get him to admit publicly to fathering a love child. This time, in "Little Fockers," in what is possibly the most uncomfortable moment in the history of the franchise, De Niro secretly takes a sample of an erectile dysfunction drug that Stiller got at work from a pharmaceutical rep. When Stiller discovers that it's left De Niro with lasting side effects, De Niro insists that Stiller give him appropriate medical attention.
Slapstick and screaming ensue. At the premiere Wednesday in Manhattan, surrounded by popular comedians such as Stiller and Wilson, the "Little Fockers" cast and crew focused on De Niro's comedic talent. People forget that he was in 'Midnight Run' and 'Analyze This. Greg, though, was fighting her advances. Jack, who went to the house to apologize to Greg, saw everything by the window, storms out of the place. Greg looks after him until the paramedic arrives. Jack finally admits that he believes Greg is telling the truth while checking his carotid artery, and in the end, bestows him the Godfocker title.
