2010’s Little Fockers is the third and (to date) final installment in the Meet the Parents series. Like many such movie franchises, Meet the Parents appears to be one of diminishing returns. I quite liked the 2000 original and even if the 2004 sequel was a shameless cash-in predominantly made up of recycled jokes from the first movie, I didn’t hate it.
Like its predecessors, Little Fockers has a great cast.
And that is the only positive thing I can say about it.
I can only assume the assorted star names got paid a lot of money for this abomination.
Score for Christmasishness
I only watched this movie because I thought it was set at Christmas time. But it isn’t. So that’s 115 minutes of my life that I won’t be getting back anytime soon. The very final scene does, however, depict a Christmas gathering, so it just about makes the cut for my festive countdown. But that is scant consolation for having had to sit through such a dreadful film.

Agree. The only thing close to raising the glimmer of a half-hearted smile is the title, and that has devalued in currency with each addition. If there were still Blockbuster Videos on each corner it would sit on the shelves after the first week. A true Horror of an attempted Comedy.

I can only imagine that there was a desire from the cast to establish a collaborative career low point

Success! At least on that (low) level.

Focking awful film that’s just a vowel away from being shot.

Thanks! BTW, I tried to comment on your latest but the comments are closed. At any rate, Mini sounds like she has a little bit of cat in her!

I’ve just changed the settings (I’m on a bit of an admin mission – hence replying to old comments!) so you could now comment if you wish. But yes, she is the more ‘cat-like’ of my children.

Well, I haven’t seen it before either, and now I never well – unless it’s on the TV very late one night when I’ve had one too many.

Those are the best conditions for viewing this but you might need ‘five too many’
