While waiting in the theater for Little Fockers to begin it was basically assumed that the movie would end up being not very funny or impressive. This movie was the third in the series: Meet The Parents (2000) followed by Meet the Fockers (2004).
Six years after the the last movie this movie includes the children of Greg and Pam Focker: twins Sam and Henry are about to turn five and have a big birthday party.
Roz Focker now has a sex tv talk show, Bernie Focker is in Spain learning to flamenco and the Byrnes are dealing with "Dr. Bob" no longer being a part of the family. Jack Byrnes has a heart attack and tells Greg that he will need to be the "Godfocker" if anything happens to Jack.
Greg is working as a nurse and is offered by Andi Garcia (bubbly Jessica Alba) to be the spokesperson for a male enhancement pill that is safe for patients with heart conditions.
Not very impressed with Alba's performance, she is usually an amazing actress: but this role she was so flighty and it seemed like too much of an act, unreal. She was not very convincing as she used "dope" terminology and acted "hip."
There are really interesting scenes with Owen Wilson's character Kevin, including him getting Pam tattooed on his back.
There's a lot of dramatic irony and a lot of outrageous moments. This movie should be a four out of five, because it was quite hilarious at some points and kept entertained, but Alba's performance was not her best.
