> Responding to a post on X asking if one needs to watch the first three “Focker” movies to understand the plot of the upcoming fourth film starring Ariana Grande, Stiller wrote, “No! But I stand by the first two.”
> When another user commented, “So what went wrong with Little Fockers? You worked on it,” Stiller replied, “We always try. Fully.”
third was a weird and heartless rehash, Stiller having to deal with a still-disapproving De Niro just wasn’t funny for a 3rd time. And Jessica Alba’s charade causes so much trouble and then she just disappears from the movie and isn’t called out for it. Just a lazily made comedy sequel all around
I didn’t even remember there were more than two
They need to work Samuel Jackson into the mix somehow for “Mother Focker.”
He stands by the first two sequels? Is he saying the new film doesn’t work?
Little Fockers was meh so I’m surprised they’re doing a fourth
