Back in the minefield that is the most pressurized clan in cinema. With Mon beau-père, ma belle-fille et moi, the cult comedy marks a highly anticipated comeback, sixteen years after its last chapter, still under the watchful eye of John Hamburg. On screen, the electric duo Robert De Niro / Ben Stiller are back in action — this time with a new centerpiece in the family equation. And not just any centerpiece: Ariana Grande (Wicked: Part II / Wicked: For Good - 2025) joins the cast in the role of the daughter-in-law.
After Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers (2005) and Little Fockers (2010), the saga is getting a fourth chapter, reuniting the familiar faces once again: Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson, Skyler Gisondo, Beanie Feldstein and Eduardo Franco.
Behind the scenes, nothing changes: John Hamburg writes the screenplay—just like for the first three films—and moves into the director’s chair. Production is led by Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, with Jane Rosenthal, John Lesher and Jay Roach.
A bona fide hit since 2001, the franchise has racked up $1.13 billion worldwide. A figure that underscores audiences’ enduring attachment to these tense family reunions, where every new member inevitably disrupts the balance.
