Ben Stiller is a few years older than De Niro was when they shot the first one.

Hollywood can’t come up with an original idea anymore

This the worst and least inventive group of writers Hollywood has ever had.

They have no original ideas.

I liked the third one well enough. Could be funny seeing Greg in the Jack role or have them team up against the new boyfriend.

Greg Focker is your typical coward man these days. Let's a woman that doesn't deserve him, run over him.

Me pitching: I’m just riffing here but it goes something like this…..

The kids (can’t remember if little Jack was the only kid) are now in college, the daughter thinks Gay Focker is uptight and gives him cold shoulder.

Takes place at Christmas, grandparents come to the Focker’s house. Big Jack is in a wheel chair from a supposed back surgery.

A rogue CIA asset, missing for years, comes to assassinate Big Jack. We learn Big Jack is not wheelchair bound when he leaps from his chair to save Gay Focker making Gay even more emasculated.

Yada yada yada highjinks ensue act 3:

In the end Gay saves Jack and the daughter and the daughter…and finally Big Jack both respect and love Gay Focker!

Roll the outakes reel

If it's an easy going, successful, Conservative MAGA guy who is dating Greg's daughter and he and Jack throw hissy fits as a result, then I MIGHT watch it. Might. Otherwise an obvious frick no.

Hollywood is beyond desperate. The golden years are over.

I can not see how this movie will succeed at all. Nearly all of what made Ben Stiller funny is condoned by the left.

Teri Polo could probably use the money, I seem to recall she was blacklisted in Hollywood

Love love love Heartbreak Kid. It’s one of my go-to watches. I’ve probably watched it or fall asleep watching it over 100 times

As for Meet the parents, really liked 1 and 2. Have rewatched them many times. 3 was okay but not nearly the level as the first 2

Obvious plot is the daughter is older and she brings a guy home to meet Greg. Greg is now the crazy father. Deniro just sits back and laughs.

There's Something About Mary

That was easy. I would have also accepted Tropic Thunder but that is Downey's movie.

It will tank. Nobody who voted for Donald Trump will watch this with these people in the movie.
