Ben Stiller publicly threw shade at Little Fockers while promoting the upcoming fourth film, Focker-In-Law, saying he "stands by the first two" — a pointed omission of the third. The renewed attention on the 2010 film is a direct byproduct of that franchise comeback, which adds Ariana Grande to the cast alongside Stiller and Robert De Niro.
"Little Fockers," a romantic comedy film, is trending due to Ben Stiller's public criticism of it while promoting the upcoming fourth installment in the franchise.
