Little Fockers is a colossal waste of such a talented group of actors. Owen Wilson goes via the motions as his grating returning character Kevin, Pam's ex-boyfriend-cum-New Age mogul, a portion that need to have just been a skit-duration cameo but is rather stretched into a significant supporting position. Blythe Danner as soon as once more plays the thankless role of Jack's spouse, receiving a single embarrassing "sexy" scene to give her character anything to do. Watch Little Fockers Online
Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman (who was infamously introduced back again for final moment re-shoots following originally sitting out the film) reprise their roles as Greg's liberated mom and dad, with the former playing up her "Dr. Ruth" schtick and the latter seemingly only in it to flamenco dance. Laura Dern has a cameo as a prep college administrator and ex-flame of Wilson's, but she is promptly launched and then gotten rid of not unlike the entirely needless casting of Harvey Keitel in a two-scene bit component as the contractor working on Greg's new property.
Alba is great as Greg's slightly kooky colleague who has the hots for him, but her character's basically a gimmick. This is the form of role Kelly LeBrock would have played as soon as upon a time; at least Alba exhibits some potential for comedy. All round, although director Paul Weitz and Co. only deliver absolutely nothing new or fresh new to the proceedings. Practically all the gags fall flat, though anything plot-sensible happens arbitrarily. Moreover, some sequences are jarring in that they have been naturally re-shoots (the length and tint of Wilson's hair noticeably changes in the course of the climactic sequence).

There's a sequence in Little Fockers where by we see De Niro brawling, which doesn't conjure as several laughs as it does unhappy reminders of how far away Raging Bull appears from the variety of movies he's identified for now. Add Hoffman and Keitel to the mix and it's virtually the major display equivalent of seeing Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Display, exactly where aging icons appeared as shadows of their former selves. This Fockin' sequence just requirements to retire now.
