How Two Sequels Undermined Meet the Parents' Legacy
Featuring an all-star cast including Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, along with a script full of humor and a fresh look at family dynamics, "Meet the Parents" quickly became an iconic comedy. The awkward charm of Greg Focker, the memorable one-liners, and De Niro’s stoic delivery helped secure its place in pop culture.
However, Hollywood couldn't resist capitalizing on this mega-hit. Following the success of "Meet the Parents," studios released "Meet the Fockers" and "Little Fockers," sequels that failed to recapture the original's comedic essence and nearly tarnished the legacy of this era-defining comedy.
As a 4th installment looms, we explore what went wrong with the "Meet the Parents" franchise.
