Oh, sweet merciful crap, they’re doing another ‘Meet the Parents’ movie? 🙄 Is nothing sacred anymore? Are we really scraping the bottom of the barrel this hard? It’s like Hollywood is a toddler who found a half-eaten lollipop under the couch and is now demanding a whole new one. But hey, at least Owen Wilson is back, probably to deliver his signature “wow” at all the painfully predictable jokes. 🤣
So, yeah, apparently Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner are also crawling out of whatever retirement homes they’ve been festering in to reprise their roles. I mean, sure, why not? Let’s just keep flogging this dead horse until it’s nothing but a fine powder. Dust to dust, ‘Meet the Parents’ to… more ‘Meet the Parents’? 🤷♂️
And guess who’s writing and directing this cinematic masterpiece? None other than John Hamburg, the guy who co-wrote the other three films. So, expect more of the same, but somehow even less funny. Because that’s totally possible. 🤡
Owen Wilson, bless his heart, is back as Kevin Rawley, the “laidback rival” of Stiller’s character. You know, the guy who’s only there to make Stiller look slightly less awkward and pathetic. A true hero. 🦸♂️
The plot? Oh, it’s a real doozy. Stiller’s son is getting engaged to some woman (allegedly Ariana Grande, because why not throw in a pop star for good measure? 🤷♀️). So, get ready for another round of painfully awkward family gatherings, misunderstandings, and De Niro giving Stiller the stink eye. Groundbreaking stuff, really. 🤯
But let’s not forget the *real* story of ‘Meet the Parents.’ It all started with an indie film back in 1992. And get this, it was actually dark and twisted! Like, murder-suicide dark. 🔪 But Universal, in their infinite wisdom, decided to tone it down and make it… “funny.” Yeah, because nothing says comedy like Robert De Niro interrogating Ben Stiller about his cat-milking abilities. 😹
The original ‘Meet the Parents’ was a hit, raking in the dough and spawning two sequels. ‘Meet the Fockers’ introduced us to Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Stiller’s parents, because apparently, one set of crazy parents wasn’t enough. 🤪
Then came ‘Little Fockers,’ which was basically a cinematic dumpster fire. 🔥 But hey, at least it made money, right? So, naturally, they’re making another one. Because Hollywood logic. 🧠
And if you’re wondering where else you can see Owen Wilson, he’s apparently been slumming it on TV in Marvel’s ‘Loki’ and some Apple TV+ golf series called ‘Stick.’ Sounds riveting. 😴
But the real question is, when will this new ‘Meet the Parents’ abomination hit theaters? Mark your calendars, folks, because November 25th, 2026, is the day comedy officially dies. 💀
And just in case you want to relive the “glory” of the previous ‘Meet the Parents’ movies, you can buy them on Amazon. Because why not torture yourself? 😈
