Little Fockers (2010)

98 min, comedy

Director: Paul Weitz
Writer: John Hamburg, Larry Stuckey
Stars: Robert De Niro, Ben Stiler, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo

Storyline:
It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) 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?

Review:
Despite what people say, about this not being funny and that it's bad movie I quite enjoyed it. All though De Niro is a character actor I love seeing him in comedy's. The scenes with him and Ben Stiller together are really funny to me. It's a shame that there isn't more of Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand. They were the funniest characters in the firs two movies and they should have had more than 10 minutes in "Little Fockers". And a few words about Jessica Alba. Sure she is pretty and good looking, but it is just not enough. This is, by far, her's worst  performance ever. Every time her scene started I couldn't wait for it to finish. Despite her's pleasing appearances. Recommendation? Don't expect a master peace, but it's worth watching.

Rating: 6/10
