Well, I won't say it's terrible but it's definitely the worst in the series. I don't blame everyone involved for wanting to get together one more time with these characters, unfortunately they just have a story that was already told in the other 2 movies. Stop me if you've heard this, Jack Byrnes doesn't think Greg Focker is good enough for his daughter! Wouldn't that make a great movie? Eventually this movie gets frustrating to watch as the characters do dumb things simply for advancing the little plot there is. Dustin Hoffman is pretty funny in his small role, however.

A pathetic attempt to extend an already-dead franchise. The first film, Meet the Parents, had the type of socially-awkward comedy that seemed fresh and painfully funny. The socially-awkward moments attempted here are painstaking and obvious. (Ben Stiller's character slices his finger cutting a turkey and spouts cartoonish amounts of blood all over the rest of the family...haha?) All of the actors are obviously going through the motions here, playing caricatures of their franchise characters. It's sad to see such classic actors as Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman in a film like this. You know it's bad when they bust out the Robert De Niro erectile dysfunction scene.

You've seen one Foker you've seen them all. The progression of the film is exactly the same: Greg tries to impress, everything goes wrong, Jack thinks the worst of him, they kiss and make up. Despite its predictability, it does have very enjoyable, comical moments that only the combination of Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, and Owen Wilson can provide. This isn't something one should rush to the theatres to see, but it is enjoyable if you aren't expecting a masterpiece.
