It's not secret that I hate the Meet the Parents films. I find the Three's Company-like misunderstandings to be torturous and uncomfortable. It's the same reason I hate shows like Camera Camera or Punk'd. I just don't dig laughing at someone else's anguish (e.g., "We're just kidding, your husband isn't really dead!"). Ha ha.
From slashfilm, Fox News is reporting that Ben Stiller is back to developing a third film in the Meet The Parents series called Little Fockers.
“In the natural progression of things, Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner would return as grandparents to Ben Stiller and Teri Polo’s babies. Of course, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand would have to return as well.”
Meet the Parents was actually a pretty funny family comedy, but I found Fockers extremely painful to watch. The title is the funniest thing about the sequel. The addition of Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand just didn’t work, and I don’t think the introduction of a baby (or possible twins) will make a third film any better.

Wow, what made you ever watch Meet the Fockers?
Actually, I never saw the sequel but I knew I'd hate it.
Yeah, the first one of these flicks was enough for me. I really don't like that kind of "humor." Never had any interest in seeing the second one.
