Little Fockers (2010)
Brief review: While the first two installments were mildly watchable at best, this unnecessary sequel is just a stupid, lazy and hardly enjoyable piece-of-crap comedy, that relies on its supposed-to-be-funny script and an A-list cast, but it falls flat on its face. The plot is nonexistent , and gags are either cheap, or awkward, and lacking in any sort of originality. Although the main focus is on Stiller and DeNiro, their characters are such an idiotic losers, it's hard to find them funny or likable. Streisand and Hoffman as the over-the-top crazy parents are as hilarious as they were in the previous installment, but it's Jessica Alba that surprises with some good physical comedy skills, though her character is often annoying and dumb as a rock. The little Fockers themselves are adorable, but unfortunately, they barely appear on screen. Teri Polo as Mrs. Focker is, well, just there. Owen Wilson's aim is to increase the 'fun level' of the movie, but he's just not amusing at all. "Little Fockers" is a pretty standard fare, technically, as Paul Weitz's direction is nothing-to-write-home-about, and both the production design and the cinematography are too plain and uninteresting.
Overall summary: Lame, stupid and painfully unfunny, "Little Fockers" is a completely pointless sequel, that fails to deliver genuine laughs or anything else. It's just "fockin" stupid.
