Robert De Niro: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

And 5 Performances That Sucked...

5. Jack Byrnes - Little Fockers

Film Title: Little Fockers Meet the Parents was just about bearable, Meet the Fockers was annoying but had a few laughs, but Little Fockers was an unholy, miserable cash-in that had everybody leaving the cinema looking like they'd just suffered a colonoscopy. Robert De Niro was the only funny thing in the previous two films, but by the third it was drastic overkill as he spends the duration of the movie trying to get us to laugh at his erectile problems. De Niro appeared to forget about his legacy, and more importantly, his dignity when he agreed to be in the movie. The film still made a boat load of money so the chances of another sequel remain high, but please, for the sake of all that is holy, don't make another one. There's not a single laugh to be found, and you almost feel sorry for De Niro, but then you realise that he's been made in excess of seven figures to appear.
