Little Fockers (2010)



Well the 2010 Holiday definitely picked a great movie to get it going with Little Fockers. After watching the first two Meet the Parents (2000) and Meet the Fockers (2004) you can't help but want to see a third one. Pure laughter from beginning to end, definitely satisfied my laughing needs.

They say once children are brought into the picture, that anythig bad would at least calm down a situation or bring in some positivity, well it does make things interesting for the Focker and Byrnes family. One should not expect too much from this film, if so your expectation are just a little too high and unrealistic. after seeing the trailers and promos I already knew what I was getting into. Plus with a little bit of sprinkles from folks like Owen Wilson and Kevin Hart you are bound to fall out of your seat.

For the most part, the film sheds light on the abnormal relationship between Greg and Jack, along with their ups and downs. You would think that jack may have just a little more faith in his son-in-law, but the constant spying may have you beg to differ. We also get a chance to see Greg (Ben Stiller) really take on the patriarchal role as well as test his limits as a man. And as icing on the cake, for just a few moments we get to see such acting legends like legends Harvey Keitel, Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman more on a humorous side versus a serious, stiff, stern ones. Even the little children with their facial expressions and one-liners add to the already layed out humor that exists from their elders.

When its all said and done the movie is not just a prime example of a comedy, but it also presents several clear cut messages of family loyalty and priorities in a different fashion. Doesn't get in better than that...works for me!
