Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Meet the Parents had zip and some decent visual gags; Meet the Fockers wasn't as funny, but always watchable; this third slice of in-law bickering is obnoxiously dull.
Like the majority of modern US comedies there are no actual, discernible jokes, and a classy cast – Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Laura Dern – barely seem engaged with the dialogue, thrown together by a staggering four writers. This time around De Niro's uptight father figure, Jack, suspects his son-in-law, Gaylord Focker (Stiller), is cheating on his gormless daughter, Pam (Terri Polo), with Jessica Alba's sultry temptress. Who gives a fock?
