Little Fockers

2010

It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get in with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house.

Ages 13+Source checked

Why this age? Sexual innuendo and erectile-drug humor, flirtation and attempted sexual advances, drinking, crude comedy, family conflict, and a comic fight with a heart attack suit teens more than younger children. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

Marriage, family relationships, jealousy, an ex-fiancé, suspected infidelity, and pressure to reconcile are recurring plot elements.

Frightening scenes1/5
Why this rating?

Why this rating?

Repeated erectile-drug references, sexual jokes, flirtation, suspected infidelity, and an attempted sexual advance contribute to the PG-13 tone.
