Robert Deniro, Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson & Barbara Streisand return in the 3rd installment of the popular Meet The Parents franchise. This time around, hapless Gaylord “Greg” Myron Focker and wife Pam now have five year old twins and try their best to cope with the comedy hijinx involved in raising them amid their wacky family and friends.
I like Robert De Niro playing comedy roles and like his ultra uptight character of Jack Tiberius Byrnes and plays very well against Ben Stiller (who I’ve never been a fan). The films so far have had a loose story arc and development. I only hope that in this one, the casting doesn’t pull me out of the story like in Meet The Fockers when all I saw was an obvious scheme in the casting of Dustin Hoffman (who is not returning as Bernard “Bernie” Focker) & Barbara Streisand as the Stiller’s parents. Paul Weitz takes over in the director’s chair and Little Fockers is set for a December 22, 2010 release.
I am a Canadian First Nations writer of screenplays and teleplays, journalist & film critic. I first got into writing movie reviews a couple of years ago while I was living in the Canadian Rockies and was approached by the editor of Jasper’s only independent publication, The Fitzhugh to contribute a series of reviews in the summer of 2007, as “Dr. Philm“.
I am also a very recent addition & blog column journalist with The Vancouver Observer http://www.vancouverobserver.com/ where I write articles focusing on first nations issues.
I love movies of all kinds, no matter the genre, length, subject matter, colour, B&W, or creed. I think in visual terms and have been often called a dreamer. .
I encourage comments about my blog and will respond to any and all. Cheers!
