Little Fockers

Five years after the wedding, Greg and Pam have five-year-old twins and are planning a move. Pam's parents, Jack and Dina, come to visit, and Jack announces he's looking for a successor to lead the family. The choice seems to land on Greg, but a string of misunderstandings, an overly friendly pharmaceutical rep and Greg's side job promoting a drug complicate everything. Jack tests his son-in-law once more, this time with his health at stake. Bernie and Roz, Greg's parents, return in smaller parts, and Jack keeps an eye on his son-in-law.

1. Behind the scenesDustin Hoffman only signed after shooting wrapped

   Dustin Hoffman's return as Bernie was confirmed on August 24, 2010. The studio only agreed salary terms after principal photography had wrapped, and several alternate scenes were shot as a precaution. In the end his part was much smaller than in the previous film.
