10 Robert De Niro Movies That Suck More Than Dirty Grandpa
3. Little Fockers
At the time Meet The Parents was a refreshing change of pace for De Niro; he got to milk his mega serious persona for comic effect and he appeared to have a great time doing it. There werent nearly as many laughs in Meet The Fockers, and the gags had well and truly dried up by the time Little Fockers dug itself out of the ground. Little Fockers isnt technically a movie; its a collection of scenes stitched together in the hope that some of them will raise a chuckle. Theres the sketch where De Niro gets an erection he cant get rid of, the scene where De Niro is hilariously (?) buried in sand or the endless Focker gags, including Greg becoming The Godfocker. Thats the level of humour were dealing with here. Everybody involved with the film seems to be aware of what they were making; Barbara Streisand admitted she couldnt make it through the whole thing, and when picking up a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Golden Globes De Niro opened with I was very, very moved and gratified when you made the announcement two months ago, well before you had a chance to review Little Fockers.
