In fact, there are so many guest
appearances to shoe-horn in that for the first half hour or so (in
which Stiller does nothing but take phone calls) Little Fockers
turns into one of those "Direct-to-DVD" films.
You know the type, where
the big name cast members each have one scene that
doesn't actually feature them in the same room with anyone
else
(so they can all be filmed separately).
Dustin Hoffman was
famously brought in after the film had wrapped production to film new
scenes (charging a significant fee to do so).
Eventually people
start to clump together so we can get deathless comedy moments like
Jack suffering from a never-ending erection (he just takes erection
medication he finds lying around) leading to Greg having to inject his
penis with a blood thinner
Of course - one of the kids opens the door at exactly the wrong moment!
Comedy!
Actually,
pretty much the entire "comedy" aspect of this film is built around
people opening the door at the wrong moment; if you open the door to a
cinema showing this, you'll understand the feeling.
DVD Special Features
Quite a lot of
fun to be had with the DVD Extras (or if you buy the DVD, Blu Ray,
Download Combo pack) which includes an Alternate Opening and an
Alternate Ending.
There are some fun Deleted Scenes, the always entertaining Gag Reel and
well as a few featurettes - the best of which looks at the working
relationship between Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.
Little Fockers isn't great, but it's harmless fun - and that's all that
most people are really asking for.
Conclusion:
Movie 50% Extras: 70%
