The third instalment of the comedy franchise may not be as funny as Meet the Parents, but it is more amusing than Meet the Fockers, boldly expanding the family conflict to include the clan's youngest additions. Here, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is now a successful nurse and proud father of twins, heading his own dysfunctional brood despite continued interference from his ex-CIA father-in-law (Robert De Niro) and the sexual advances of a sizzling pharmaceutical saleswoman (Jessica Alba). An average script sags a little in the middle but mostly pings with laughs, thanks to exquisite comic timing from an impressive supporting cast that includes Owen Wilson, Laura Dern and Harvey Keitel as a tattooed builder. It's far from intellectually taxing, but Little Fockers is much funnier than it deserves to be.

It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get in with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house.
