LITTLE FOCKERS

Starring: Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand
Directed by: Paul Weitz
Opens: December 22, 2010

Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and the entire Focker clan return once again to remind us that we can use their family name as an expletive. After Greg takes a job moonlighting for a drug company to make ends meet, Jack’s newly-forged trust in his son-in-law will be tested when the whole clan gets together for the Focker twins’ birthday party. Will Greg pass Jack’s final test, or will the circle of trust be undone for good?

What We Think: Little Fockers will essentially be the same gag fest as the first two, but with kids! We’re hoping that director Weitz has some tricks up his sleeve to freshen up the franchise, because judging from the trailer, everyone looks bored.

Cool to Know: Dustin Hoffman wasn’t happy with the original script but eventually came around and filmed a few scenes after principle photography was complete. Which gives me all kinds of hope.
