Fox News has “released” word that a sequel to Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers is happening. We already knew that was the case, since it was confirmed last year, but the news piece does add to it — Blythe Danner and Robert De Niro are returning. This means that last year’s news wasn’t a dream, and that Ben Stiller hasn’t forgotten about it, no matter what other projects he is busying himself with. We are getting more Fockers. We just don’t know if Babs and Dustin are in for the ride as well.
Now I really liked the chemistry of having the two sets of parents in Meet the Fockers, and if having the grandparents around at all I would hope that they could return to that dynamic. And I am sure that awkward Stiller daddy making diaper jokes and getting spit up on will always be funny.
But where do we draw the line? Is three milking the franchise or is it giving us more of what we want? I wouldn’t mind seeing more Fockers comedy, but is there really a big demand for this?
And since they announced this movie 18 months ago, is this news meaning its going to happen or just more talk?
“almost always dead on funny”
Really?
Ouch. That statement is so far from the truth.
I like some of his stuff, but he is very inconsistent and really not a laughing box.
im ready for a focker movie :) only time will tell if we can get another focker movie. im all pumped up for it.
The first film was hilarious (no matter what the revisionists might tell you), but the second film was gawdawful. I can’t imagine that introducing babies to the series will do anything but pull it down further.
I disagree ObiWan…. Goldmember was the suck.
It makes another trilogy doesn’t it. Everyone wants a trilogy.
Jay Roach hasn’t directed a bad movie yet.
I’ve always thought, since the last, that the next one should have them all in with Al Pacino as the Godfather… maybe it would be better than Righteous Kill. Who knows!
I cannot wait for this film. The previous films have been superb.
