Pictures if anyone is interested. Nice embossed slip too.

Can't wait for this movie to come out, thought it was hilarious when I saw it in theaters.

I'm highly intrigued to see the latest Fockers offering, but I dunno, I think I'm going to pass this time around. I was pretty disappointed with Meet the Fockers, and I didn't even buy it on Blu (I'll usually buy a movie I don't like just for continuity reasons in my collection). Once both of these are $10 at the local Wal-Mart or so, I'll probably bite. Until then...

A bit of a disappointment after the first two. Jessica Alba's character annoyed the hell out of me, no matter how articulate or talented she is as an actress.

Are any retailers offering any kind of deal if you buy all 3 movies at the same time on Blu-Ray?

I haven't upgraded the first two yet, and would just like to get them all at the same time, but really don't want to pay much more than $30 to $40 for the whole series. Right now the cheapest I've found that I can get them for is about $55.

Meet the Parents was really good. Meet the Fockers was passable. Little Fockers is pretty abysmal. It's not worth any more of my time. Hardly any real laughs, terrible story...

I kind of enjoyed seeing De Niro and Keitel on screen together yet again. Good thing Taxi Driver is coming out tomorrow though.

Be nice if they were all put in a trilogy set.

hardtosayx · 04-04-2011, 10:10 PM

As of now the only places releasing the trilogy is the UK and France

Dynamo of Eternia · 04-05-2011, 12:31 AM

I don't even care if they come in a set together (though it would be nice). I'm just trying to see if any retailer is offering any deals when you buy all 3 together.

Not a real "deal", but Best Buy has Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers for $9.99 this week. Add that with Little Fockers for $22.99 and then the whole trilogy is only $42.97.

Meet the Parents was a classic. Meet the Fockers was good enough. Little Fockers is just wasted potential, with retread jokes from the first two films, not enough of the kids considering the title, and not enough Alba/too much Alba (I can't decide

).

Still buying the 3rd to complete the trilogy. There are moments in the 3rd that make it watchable, despite its shortcomings.

Oh please. None of them used original humor. These aren't supposed to be critically acclaimed thought provoking films. They're stupid situation comedies and the third one is no worse than the first two. If you didn't laugh at Little Fockers you need to lighten up.

forty1down · 04-05-2011, 03:50 PM

fyi, target has this with an exclusive slipcover and magnetic picture frame. i actually like target's exclusive slip better. its pretty much the same thing but with a red border and doesnt show pics of the rest of the cast on the bottom.

The critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave Meet the Parents an 84% rating, so clearly they laughed at it. Little Fockers got a whopping 9%, so they didn't laugh at it. That's a pretty abysmal score.

Gremal · 04-05-2011, 05:37 PM

Critics are useless when it comes to these types of comedies.

If you're in the mood for it, you'll laugh and enjoy it. If not, you won't. Little Fockers was huge success at the box office ($148 million)--not far off Meet the Parents ($164 million).

Chaotic · 04-05-2011, 05:39 PM

A lot of crap movies are sucessful. Transformers 2 made $400M afterall

I own all 3, as I do enjoy them. But if you're too stupid to see that the 2nd and 3rd aren't close to the quality of the first, then i don't know what to tell you. And yes, the first had a ton of originality to it, sir expert.

"Oh please" "lighten up" - - act like an arse to someone, expect nothing but the same in return.

Meet the Parents also had a budget of $55 mil and the final gross of $166 mil was way back in 2000. Adjusted for inflation, I'm sure it blows past Little Fockers, which had a budget of $100 mil.

Meet the Fockers took in $279 mil, so there was a huge drop-off from the 2nd to the 3rd. Word of mouth was definitely worse this time around.

Nothing wrong with liking "crap movies" however. I quite enjoyed Transformers 2, even though it was nowhere close to the first.
