"Little Fockers" pretty much follows in the footsteps of the previous two movies about the Byrnes and the Fockers. So if you enjoyed those two, then you will definitely enjoy this one as well.
The story is pretty straight forward and easy to follow. Greg and Pam now have twins and are dealing with family life. Then throw in a pair of suspicious in-laws and over-sexed in-laws, mix it up with a foxy temptress (played by Jessica Alba) and you have your movie right there. There were lots of funny moments in the movie, but somehow the previous two movies stands more out in my memory. There were just something more hilarious about those.
With the impressive cast list, the movie is hard to ignore. Robert De Niro playing Jack Byrnes, did a good job - but of course, he always does a good job acting. Ben Stiller, again putting on the role of Gaylord Focker, and doing the same as in the previous two movies - fighting with his father-in-law. Despite having relatively small roles, then Dustin Hoffman (playing Bernie Focker) and Barbra Streisand (playing Roz Focker) were marvelous as the parents of Gaylord Focker. The chemistry between Hoffman and Streisand is magnificent. I didn't really care much for Owen Wilson's character, nor was his performance that memorable. And throw in Harvey Keitel and Laura Dern for some small supporting roles, and they were great.
I found this third installment to the Focker series to be a tad below the standards of the previous two. But all in all, it is still an alright comedy.
