After 10 years of marriage and two children, it seems that Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) has finally earned a place in the "circle of trust" of his uptight father-in-law, Jack (Robert De Niro). However, Greg is moonlighting with a drug company, which raises Jack's suspicions. As two clans descend on the scene of the young twins' birthday party, Greg must find a way through myriad misunderstandings to prove to Jack -- once and for all -- that he is worthy of being the next family patriarch.

Critics Consensus

As star-studded as it is heartbreakingly lazy, Little Fockers takes the top-grossing trilogy to embarrassing new lows.

Families will flock to the holiday release with gusto, but it's up for debate whether 100 minutes with the Focker and Byrnes families is worse than quality time with your own dysfunctional clan.

Third time out for the Meet the Parents franchise, and it's all but impossible to suppress a groan.

Deep Focus Review

What an agonizing experience this is, watching talented actors like Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller subject themselves to material better suited for a soon-to-be-canceled sitcom.

Rated: 1.5/4

When a cinematic series starts resorting celebrity cameos instead of actual filmmaking then it's time to close up shop and move on to something else.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

There is nothing new here, no interesting character developments and no new insight to the dynamics of these people.

The laughs that Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller brought to the screen in the earlier movies are gone here. The story and messages feel lost, as this one mostly focuses on the adults rather than the kids—despite being titled “Little Fockers“. The result is a flat, forgettable sequel with little to no memorable moments. I’d much rather stick with the first two films.

Little Fockers carries forward the franchise’s central tension between Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, tracing the full arc of the father-in-law/son-in-law dynamic and amplifying every possible point of conflict. While its tendency to sideline the female characters weakens its reflection of reality, as a straightforward family comedy it still finds purpose in shining the spotlight on the universal anxieties of son-in-laws everywhere.

Little Fockers is one of those sequels that is much worse than the last film the story is uninteresting, the script is weak, the jokes are insufferable and the acting is so lazy (and don't even get me started on Jessica Alba & Kevin Hart's unbearable performances). Barbra Streisand what are you even doing in this movie? You are an amazing actress you did fantastic performances with "Hello Dolly", "A Star Is Born" to even "Yentl" and yet somehow you had to star in THIS? Barbra i beg of you have proven time and time again you great at acting, writing and directing just DON'T do these awful movies anymore you're better than this. If there's a reminder of film sequels that shouldn't even exist........this is one of them.
