Little Fockers Movie Review

Okay so you know the premise with these types of films, youve got your father in law and your son in law arguing while the rest of their family watch them get into zany situations. Being such a used formula, you can guess whats going to happen, this isnt a problem with comedies as their jokes are what hold them up, right?

My main problem with the film is that there were no jokes, the entire audience was silent, the only laughter I heard was from some teenage girls laughing at a scene involving a needle and someones penis. I wouldnt have minded puns, or cheesy jokes, or embarrassing situations, but the film was just like a drama that wasnt very dramatic.

I felt like the film didnt know what it wanted to be, the title Little Fockers implies that the children are the main focus, but the two children are barely in the film and when they were, they were just a bit annoying. The film is definitely not a family film, its heavily sexually based, I wouldnt advise taking your children to see this, but then adults wont find the humour very funny.

The acting wasnt bad to be perfectly honest, the line up is good and I felt that the characters were believable. As for messages? The film carries some messages about family loyalties and priorities, but doesnt every film like this carry that message?

I dont like sounding too negative, but the bottom line is that I didnt enjoy this film, simple as that. If you like these kinds of films then I would suggest renting it some time, its not as bad as I may have made it sound, but its still pretty bad in my opinion. I hope this review helped you, and maybe saved you some money.
