As Ben Stiller boards the promotional tour for “Focker In-Law,” the actor admits not all of the “Meet the Parents” sequels have worked.

Responding to a post on X asking if one needs to watch the first three “Focker” movies to understand the plot of the upcoming fourth film starring Ariana Grande, Stiller wrote, “No! But I stand by the first two.”

When another user commented, “So what went wrong with Little Fockers? You worked on it,” Stiller replied, “We always try. Fully.”
