Synopsis: The test of wills between Jack Byrnes and Greg Focker escalates to new heights. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan -- including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin -- descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch -- or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

What can I say about these Fockers? I'm a huge fan of the first film, Meet The Parent. It is actually, one of my top favorite comedy films. I also enjoyed the second film, Meet The Fockers. Having new cast members, it looked like it was going to be a huge success. It was good indeed, but to be honest, nothing compared with the first one. Good laughs, but there was something that didn't bring the good laughs that Meet The Parents delivered.
When I watched the trailer for the latest sequel of this franchise, I heard and read mixed comments and critics about it. Some people (including myself) were pretty excited about the idea, plot and cast. Some people said that it should have stopped with the first one. Now that I watched it, I must say that I'd stick with the second group.
It is such a sad thing to put together such an amazing cast for a film, when the plot is so lousy. The script was so boring, the cast didn't bring their best "improvising" moments to help it be the best it could be. I must admit I had some good laughs a couple of times, but in overal, it was a pretty, pretty lousy and unfunny film.
It's been 10 years since Greg and Pam married. Now with two twins in the family, they have decided to celebrate their 5th birthday inviting all the family. Jack has been facing some health problems, and a big disappointment with his other son in law, which turned into a bad husband and divorced from his wife. Being part of a great legacy, he's worried that he can't delegate this responsibility to his posterity. That's why he challenges Greg to be the "Godfocker".
Greg's mother is hosting a sex TV talk show and has signed a good contract for a second season. His dad, trying to find his inner truth decides to go to Sevilla, in Spain and learn to dance Flamenco.
Greg gets an interesting professional proposal, when Andi Garcia (Jessica Alba), a sexy pharmaceutical-company representative selling the erectile dysfunction drug Sustengo, offers him to conduct a serie of talks to other medical professionals.
Greg feels the burn of his new responsibility of giving his son the best options for his education, house and financial prosperity. Jack doesn't trust him and even worse, he believes he has an affair with Andi Garcia.
At the end, they celebrate the birthday party, Jack suffers another heart attack, Greg takes control over the situation and it helps to put their differences aside. The film ends with the three families in Greg's living room with the news that his parents are moving close to their home and Jack will also move closer to their house. Obviously, leaving the door opened for a future sequel. But the question is... Do we really need a new one?! Please... NO!
I would rate this movie with a 2/5
