Most films that go on over two movies do not turn out to be that great, but Little Fockers, the third installment after Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, looks very promising. Starring the original cast including Ben Stiller, Roberto Di Nero, and Barbara Streisand, the hilarious family quarrels of the Focker-Byrnes plans to include two new characters this time around; little twin Fockers Samantha and Henry.
2000’s Meet the Parents drew in audiences with its hilarious plot driven by the petty arguments and slight competition between Gaylord “Greg” Focker and his fiancé’s father Jack Byrnes. Focker spray paints a cat’s tail and Byrnes revives his former CIA training all to impress the fiancé and daughter Pam Byrnes. In the end, Byrnes rescues Focker from a pending terrorist accusation and gives his blessings to Focker and Pam. Now, 10 years and two kids later, Focker is going through a midlife crisis which is not lightened by the intrusion of his hippie-like parents and overbearing father-in-law. Byrnes’ suspicions of Focker resurface, and Little Fockers promises another major showdown between the two.
In the film’s previews, we already see Focker getting himself into some sticky but nonetheless hilarious situations when he cuts his finger at a family dinner and causes a bloody hysteria after he finds out that his parents have purchased a home right down the street. The onscreen chemistry between Stiller and Di Nero was entertainingly apparent in the first two films, and looks to hopefully carry on into the third.
Little Fockers opens nationwide Wednesday, December 22.
