Aside from Yogi Bear and Gulliver’s Travels, there isn’t a film I’m less excited to see this Christmas season than the (hopefully) conclusion in the Fockers trilogy, Little Fockers. With Meet The Parents being one of my favorite comedies, it is a little sad to see them run it into the ground this hard. If you can even get past the Godfocker joke in the trailer, then you are a stronger man than I. Dustin Hoffman was wise, and initially stayed away, but Universal roped him into reshoots and you can see some of the results below via Yahoo. The comedy is directed by Paul Weitz and stars Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Jessica Alba, Laura Dern, Harvey Keitel, Teri Polo and Barbara Streisand.

Plot: The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series—Little Fockers. Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) 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, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam’s entire clan—including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)—descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack’s final test and become the family’s next patriarch…or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

Little Fockers hits theaters Dec. 22nd.
