It will be called "For Fockers Sake"? ;)

Ok - I'm a little out on a limb here - but I quite liked this. Maybe I was just in a particularly receptive frame of mind after "Arthur and the Great Adventure" ! :confused:

Not much more to say about it really, except that I'll give it 7.5 out of 10.

Used another Cineworld voucher to see this at the O2. The second film Meet The Fockers was on tv just the other day and it had made me laugh a lot so compared to that one (and definitely compared to Meet The Parents) this was disappointing.
I didn't b*y in to the logic of Jack wanting his daughter to break up with Greg after so long together and with five year old kids.
I thought from the title that the film would have more of the kids in, but they didn't really feature all that much, and were unremarkable anyway.
The Focker parents are always good fun, but their role was quite pointless in this film and their appearances seemed disjointed. I thought the Kevin character was pathetic and irritating. The character of Andi Garcia was overdone and unrealistic, although she was pretty to look at, but she just kind of appeared from nowhere and disappeared at the end.
I smiled a couple of times, mostly at jokes which i thought were a bit grown up for 12 year olds, but I felt that the life had gone out of this idea. Given the fact that this sequel had been such a long time coming, it felt like the script had been stitched together quickly and the actors filmed quickly in segments.
The actors are feeling old, and so is this franchise.
5/10

i was a little dissapointed with this one.
a bit of a let down had the potential to be soo funny, but didn't live up to expectations.
not sure if its true but heard originally dustin hoffman wasn't supposed to be in the film but after it got bad reviews they filmed his scene at a later date.

I enjoyed it but certainly didnt laugh as much as I would have liked.

Previous films were far superior. This was in my opinion a little too straight.

Still good family viewing though.

Why, oh why did I bother? I was more than a little disappointed with this film - it did not raise a smile, never mind a laugh. There was nothing in this film to excite me at all. I sincerely hope they don't make another!

We went to see this today after being turned away from the preview screening of Gnomeo and Juliet (arrived 20mins early and already full). We didn't have much choice with the kids being there and the fact that most of the other films we had already seen. Very predictable story line like others have said, I also would have thought the kids would have featured more in the story given the title. A couple of slightly funny moment. My daughter made me laugh as she was really shocked they kept using the f-word all the time, until I told her it was fockers not f-word. Definately one to watch on the telly.

5/10 from me

Really disappointed with this. It lacked the comedy of its predecessors whilst still attempting to be too much like them. I kind of feel like nothing new has happened making it pretty pointless. They should really have capped it at two movies.

And the title 'Little fockers' wrong for this movie, I think that 'The Godfocker' would have been much more apt.
