Universal Pictures Little Fockers has male nurse Ben Stiller being reluctantly made the family Godfocker by the family patriarch, ex-CIA man Robert De Niro. De Niro soon regrets this decision when, after using the Google search engine, he suspects Stiller of cheating on his daughter Teri Polo with medicinal drug representative Jessica Alba.
A sequel to Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, Little Fockers is a cute, but uneven film. Considering the title, you would think that Little Fockers would be more about the kids Daisy Tahan and Colin Baiocchi interacting more with Stiller and De Niro - especially interacting with grandfather De Niro. It was great to see a scene with De Niro and Harvey Keitel, even if it is a short scene. I am surprised I have not seen these two actors together in a movie before. While De Niro is still a tough guy, it is hard to compare Little Fockers to the 30th anniversary Blue-ray edition of Raging Bull which had just come out. This is especially true with all the ED jokes with De Niro from Jessica Alba's new impotence drug, the treatment for which is quite traumatic. While Jessica Alba is hot, I also miss Alba doing the serious roles as well - like Dark Angel, the role which had made Alba famous. Laura Dern is interesting as the head of the school that Stiller and De Niro want to put the children in. As Dern says, "there are a lot of family dynamics at play here" when she Meets the Parents. New age guru Owen Wilson can get annoying as he horns in on Stiller's family. A cameo by self-improvement guru Deepak Chopra is cute although you wish the cameos by Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand, as well as the cat Jinxie, would have been more.
Rated PG-13 for violence and sexual situations. Running time: 98 minutes.
