Little Fockers is not so bad it hurts, like an Uwe Boll flick. In fact, the audience laughed a ton at the new Ben Stiller sequel. But that’s also what turned the experience into a prolonged “ugh” moment for me—
seriously? People laugh at this?
Most of the jokes are typical gross-out stuff for the family set. For example: Greg Focker (Stiller) inserting a tube into a dude’s ass. Greg’s son (Colin Baiocchi) CGI-
projectile-barfing on him. The same son later asking, “Can a girl poop from her vagina?”
Each one brought the house down.
One of the major plotlines is yet another threat to Greg and Pam’s (Teri Polo, now looking like a wan Sigourney Weaver) relationship, this time in the form of Andi (Jessica Alba), a flirty pharma rep who wants Greg to be the pitchman for some boner pills. (Side note: The screenwriters seem to have written the Andi character by simply lifting stock frat-boy phrases and sticking them in the mouth of a hot woman.) Andi encourages Greg to root his pitch in a personal story, so he retells the tale of his father-in-law, Jack (Robert De Niro), from the franchise’s first entry, Meet the Parents. During the credits, we finally see Jack watching Greg’s speech on YouTube. No one skipped the credits. In fact, they may have laughed harder at the credits than anything else.
Oh, and good news—there are still infinite jokes possible with the franchise-
making name Gaylord Focker.
This movie is quite forgettable, so let’s boil it down to an equation of things I will remember: (the presence of Dustin Hoffman + Laura Dern’s hair looking like Marsha’s lady-mullet in Spaced + Alba’s ass in lingerie) – (De Niro not even feigning interest + awful Harvey Keitel cameo + a black actor being told to shuck and jive his way through exaggerated humping motions behind Alba) = 0. Little Fockers is a zero, worthy of neither hatred nor praise. 
In order to stick it to the Man we should sneak in to see it , right Luby?! HO.
Lord … I cringed when I saw the trailer to this film.
I thought: Well, yet another thousand feet of celluloid catering to the male, 19-25 year old demographic population and their damn erect penises, not to mention the idiots’ propensity to laugh at inanities.
Oy vey, shoot me if you dare.
But, I kinda digress …
I grew up watching Hoffman and DeNiro act in ground-breaking films. They WERE the ones to emulate and imitate, if such a thing were possible.
They gave acting a new name and prestige. They WERE the best of their generation.
Now? It seems as though they’ve fallen from grace and mightily. They have been reduced to taking secondary roles in films that do not befit their considerable talents.
WHAT are THESE guys, taking prat falls, anyway?
WHAT are they doing making fools of themselves onscreen?
WHY are we being duped into watching this Shit?
I FEEL VERY SORRY for DeNiro.
Times must really be hard for The Fella.
Why would he accept parts such as the comedic buffoon were it not for dire economic adversity?
Same for Hoffman.
I hate to think that the Greats are falling all too speedily, from Grace (with out Will of course …)
aaww come on guys. you got to know going in that the Fockers franchise is like whipped cream. Its quick, non-substanial, but totally yummy. i laughed at the review talking about how non-art the movie is. that is whole point. its a thumbs up against pretensions. now don’t get all your hipster boy panties knotted up and pull them out your ass once in awhile. its okay to be corny once in awhile. to just say focker is funny….
Also, the name Luby would be great comedic counterpoint to Focker..
