Little Fockers is a 2010 American Christmas comedy film and the third and final installment in the Meet the Parents trilogy, after the 2000 adaptation and Meet the Fockers.
Synopsis[]
Five years after the events of the previous film, Gaylord "Greg" Focker is preparing to celebrate his twins Samantha and Henry's fifth birthday party. Things seem to go awry when his father-in-law, Jack Byrnes, visits. Recently, he has been diagnosed with a heart condition and become embittered by his daughter Debbie's divorce from her husband, Bob (their marriage was the social event in the first film and how he and Greg met), for cheating on her with a nurse. Jack's original plan was to declare Bob his successor as head of the Byrnes family, but he decides to pass the role to Greg, naming him "The Godfocker".
Despite Greg reluctantly accepting the role, Jack resumes his spying on him and begins to suspect him of infidelity when he sees him with drug representative Andi Garcia, who openly flirts with him. This with the presence of Sustengo erection pills in his house prompts Jack to think he is no longer sexually attracted to his wife, Pam. Furthermore, he starts to doubt his ability to provide for his family when he's initially reluctant to send Samantha and Henry to a private school.
During a medical conference promoting Sustengo, Greg meets Bob at a bar, who tells him of Jack's original intention to name him as successor, "The Bobfather". His relief and happiness at leaving Jack's family makes Greg slightly uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Jack speaks to Pam about the possibility of divorcing Greg and renewing her relationship with her ex-fiancé, Kevin Rawley.
Eventually, following a confrontation at a clinic, Greg escapes to his and Pam's unfinished new house, where Andi shows up. She tries to cheer him up with Chinese food and wine, but she drinks too much (also taking many erection pills), making an eccentric, extremely aggressive sexual pass on him. Jack, looking for him to apologize and bring him home, pulls up to the house and sees through the window what looks like them having sex, although he is actually trying to rebuff her advances. Disgusted, Jack leaves, and tells Dina and Pam that he couldn't find him.
Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz, rejoin the family at Samantha and Henry's birthday party the next day. Enraged at Greg's apparent infidelity, Jack engages him in a physical fight, despite him insisting that Andi was drunk, and he was rejecting her. The fight ends with Jack having a heart attack and collapsing.
Greg quickly takes charge of the situation, looking after Jack. As paramedics take him away, Jack quietly admits that he believes him after observing his carotid artery remained stable while Greg was proclaiming his innocence. Impressed with his integrity and quick thinking, Jack approves of him to be "The Gregfocker".
Four months later, on Christmas Day, Greg and Pam's parents come to spend Christmas with them in their new house. Bernie and Roz (being Jewish) give Jack a kippah as a present, informing him that while they were nursing him back to health, they traced his family roots and discovered that he is part Jewish (which does not impress him).
Bernie informs Greg and Pam that he and Roz have sold their Miami home and are moving to Chicago, only two houses down from theirs. Jack and Dina decide they will move too, because they also want to be close to Samantha and Henry. Greg and Pam try to wean their respective parents off the idea. In the mid-credit scene, Jack views YouTube videos of Greg publicly mocking Jack during a speech promoting Sustengo.
