The new Meet The Parents film is the perfect opportunity to bring the Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro franchise full circle

It's Been Enough Time to Meet the Parents 4 About Greg Focker Meeting His Own Daughter's Fiance

It will be a huge missed opportunity if this is not the story

The original Meet the parents revolved around Greg traveling to meet Pam's parents – her father Jack, played by De Niro, and her mother Dina, played by Danner – in order to get their blessing to marry their daughter (and disaster quickly struck). . Although Dina wanted to give Greg the benefit of the doubt, Jack mercilessly put him in a difficult situation. Now this Meet the parents 4 is under development, Enough time has passed to reverse this dynamic for Greg.

Daisy Tahan, who played Samantha, Greg and Pam's daughter, in Little Fockersis now in his 20sthen Meet the parents 4 could tell the story of Samantha bringing her own fiancé to meet her parents. This would give Greg a level of understanding of how Jack felt when they first met, and he would have to navigate that difficult situation with his own paternal judgment. If not that Meet the parents 4 If this is the case, then it will be a huge wasted opportunity.

Meeting Parents 4 Is Risky (But Worth It)

It's another chance to go out on a high note

Meet the parents 4 It's a big risk – Comedy sequels rarely work, especially long after the last one – but it's a risk worth taking, because it's another chance for the series to go out on a high after the disappointment of Little Fockers. Little Fockers has a terrible 34% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and an even more dismal 9% approval rating from critics; It was considered one of the worst films ever made. This new Meet the parents the film won't have to do much to surpass it as a better ending to the series.
