Do fans of projectile vomiting and fans of *The Godfather *travel in the same circles in other countries? Because, from what I can tell from its international trailer, these are the two primary demographics seemingly being marketed to in the second *Meet the Parents *sequel, Little Fockers](Little Fockers (2010) - Movie | Moviefone). Actually, I guess any self-respecting Godfather fan wouldn’t see a comedy just because it heavily makes reference to the 38-year-old classic by playing bits of Nino Rota’s score and having Ben Stiller’s character labeled "The Godfocker." Especially if it looked as terrible and bodily fluid-filled as this.
In addition to the awfully unrealistic splattering of lasagna puke there’s far-reaching squirting of blood during a turkey-carving scene. And in addition to the *Godfather *parody there’s a too-on-the-nose *Jaws *spoof involving a ball pit. Hopefully the trailer isn’t giving everything away and we can also look forward to poop, a *Star Wars *gag, some semen, a *Saturday Night Fever *spoof, and a mix of more vomit via an *Exorcist *bit. The sad thing is, of course, that Robert De Niro is reminding moviegoers how low he’s sunk since *The Godfather Part II *with the reference to that franchise. This might even be sadder than the *Taxi Driver *shtick in *The Adventures of *Rocky and Bullwinkle](The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000) - Movie | Moviefone).
