LITTLE FOCKERS

LITTLE FOCKERS (PG-13 for the standard penis & bodily fluids jokes):  Rather than attending this, the 3rd in the Focker series about the doings & don'ts of cultural clashes (Jewish vs Christian high on the list), here are excerpts from a variety of critics:

"Any sense of joy which coursed through the first two of the series has completely evaporated."

"A film light on plot, bereft of laughs and featuring a cast who look as if they want to kill themselves."

"It's a patchy, unambitious comedy with five or six laughs, and will be passably amusing when it comes on TV."

"What terrible thing have moviegoers done to deserve yet a third outing in this series of alleged comedies?"

"Those Fockers.  Did you see what I did right there?  Made you think of a dirty word, didn't I?  That's the only 'joke' this 3rd installment offers, and they use it over and over again."

"Lewd, vulgar and tiresome to quote from Twitter:  'I bet the Robert DeNiro of 'Taxi Driver' would shoot the Robert DeNiro of 'Little Fockers.'"

"A lackluster effort and a preposterous plot which add up to a flagging franchise that just 'jumped the shark.'"

"This deeply dislikable movie gives vulgarity a bad name."

"Bereft of any ideas at this point, these are some pretty unfunny Fockers."
"I'm guessing there will be a fourth and a fifth sequel:  'Stepfockers,' and 'Tween Fockers' or maybe even 'As Long as She's Your Second Cousin, You Can Still Focker.'  Who knows?  Who cares?" To be sure, I don't.  And I only hope you weren't among the thousands of ninnies who paid money to bring the box office take far above that of "True Grit."  (Grade: an honorific D+)
