The Fockers come back for more

Following on from the popular movies Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers comes Little Fockers, a wacky comedy with an all-star cast.

Did you know

Robert De Niro will be the President of the Jury for the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

It has taken 10 years, two babies with wife Pam (Teri Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg (Ben Stiller) to get along with his tough-going father-in-law, Jack (Robert De Niro). However, when the cash-strapped Greg takes a job moonlighting for a drug company with a sexy co-worker (Jessica Alba), Jack's suspicions come back with a vengeance.

It couldn't be a worse time for Greg, who is juggling the demands of impressing the headmistress (Laura Dern) of a prestigious private school for the twin "little Fockers," dealing with a shady builder (Harvey Keitel) who appears to be endlessly renovating the Fockers' dream home, and fending off the advances of his gorgeous co-worker.

Catch the crazy comedy when Little Fockers hits cinemas on January 27.
