I just flat out loved the first “Meet The Parents” flick. The concept and the execution were almost flawless, and it was one of those rare comedies that made you laugh AND had a pretty decent little story to go along with it. I still try to watch it once or twice a year. But my love of the first film is almost equaled by my disappointment in the second one (Meet The Fockers). Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the casting or the performances… but the film felt far more contrived, forced… and just plain old not nearly as funny. oh well… it was worth a shot.
But not it appears that they’re getting ready to go back to the well once again (which isn’t all that surprising since Fockers still made an ass load of cash). The good folks over at Yahoo News give us this:
Teri Polo is set to reprise her role as
Ben Stiller’s wife in “Meet the Little Focker,” the third installment of the movie franchise. “I think he cast me in the role because I play a great straight man,” she said. “Actually, I think I’m funnier off-camera.”
I don’t HATE this idea… but it does sort of make me scratch my head. The second film was understandable… but it didn’t work. It was done, you’ve told the story, and even took it a little further than you should have… so it’s time to let it go right?
I don’t know. I guess I can see some people being excited about this I suppose. I’m just not one of them. What do you think? Do you like the idea of another Meet the Parents movie? If so, why or why not?
