Carelessly Tossed: Barbra's Song ... and Other Cut Scenes

May 3, 2011
If you purchase the DVD version of "Little Fockers" (yes, we splurged), be sure to check out the bonus extras for a bit of a surprise. One of the deleted scenes called "The Birthday Song" features Barbra singing. Yes, Barbra sang in "Little Fockers" during the Focker twins' birthday scene (below, top left). Her tongue-in-cheek rendition of "Happy Birthday" (with the cast) is hilarious. Don't expect a serious performance, however. Roz Focker sounds a lot like her equally talented alter ego, Cheryl Gibbons. Too bad this moment was left on the cutting room floor.

Other deleted scenes are showcased on the DVD, including our favorite: a disheveled Roz and Bernie emerging from the tent after a quick "shtupp" (below, top right). This omitted scene was a moment of hilarity that would have added some much needed laughs to the picture.

The deleted scenes and on-set footage are reasons enough to purchase the DVD if you haven't already done so.

Little 'Digital' Fockers

March 18. 2011
On April 5, "Little Fockers" will be released on video. Those of you who might want to own a copy of the comedy can purchase it on DVD or BluRay for $16.99 and $24.99 (at Amazon), respectively.

A bonus for BluRay purchasers will be the inclusion of an extra "free" digital copy of the film. Just synch the disc with iTunes and upload it to your Apple iPhone of iPad. The digital version should also work with other non-Apple smart devices as well, but check first.


 



"Little Fockers" Premieres in New York

December 15, 1010
The stars came out tonight, well, all but one, to attend the gala premiere of "Little Fockers" at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York. Walking the red carpet were "Focker" regulars Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson. "Focker" newbie Jessica Alba was there too, commanding all the media attention that would have otherwise been directed toward Barbra Streisand. Barbra, of course, couldn't make the premiere having just come off of a very big night as an honoree at the California Hall of Fame in Sacramento.

Dustin Hoffman summed up the whole "Focker" experience during a red carpet interview: "It's really about Christians-Jews and liberals-conservatives. And that's all you need for comedy."

The film opens nationwide on December 22.

Dustin to Join Barbra in Little Fockers

August 26, 2010
The BBC reports that Dustin Hoffman will reprise his role opposite Barbra Streisand in Universal's "Little Fockers" after all.  Word is, the picture didn't fare as well as hoped in early test screenings, particularly without that Streisand-Hoffman dynamic that played so well in "Meet the Fockers." With Hoffman on board, it's a certainty these two Grand-Fockers will enjoy more screen time together.


Trailer Debuts on iTunes

June 24, 2010
Head over to iTunes for a first look at the trailer for "Little Fockers." Barbra reprises her role as Roz Focker in this follow-up film to the enormously successful "Meet the Fockers."

 


The Return of Roz Focker

December 7, 2009
Though her participation in the upcoming film "Little Fockers" (working title) has yet to be officially confirmed, Barbra Streisand was seen this week on the film's set in Pasadena, CA.

Decked out in her trademarked Roz Focker wig, we presume that Barbra is indeed a member of the cast, reprising her role as Ben Stiller's mother.

Dustin Hoffman, who played opposite Barbra as Stiller's dad Bernie in "Meet the Fockers" has yet to appear on set. The film is scheduled for a mid-2010 release.
