A major flaw in "Little Fockers"

Over the Christmas break, my husband and I had a wonderful 10 day staycation. We've never stayed around our house for Christmas, so it was nice to actually not have to go anywhere. We slept in, at breakfast at noon, and laid around in our pajamas. It was fantastic. We always try to see a movie around Christmas because, beside summer, a lot of good movies come out then. After much deliberation between "Little Fockers" and "The Tourist", we decided to go with the comedy.

Now, I will say that I went into this movie with very low expectations. The second of the trilogy, Meet the Fockers, wasn't very good. I like to call it a "renter". It's not worth the ticket price but definitely worth the $1 that you'd pay at a RedBox. I was thinking that this third installment was going to fall into the category of the second.

Let me first say that I thought this movie was pretty funny. Most people would probably disagree with me because they don't like bathroom/bodily humor. I thoroughly enjoy it. I find nothing funnier than a clip like the one in "Dumb and Dumber" where Harry is in the bathroom having a major "issue" after Lloyd spikes his tea with Xlax. Absolutely hysterical! However, there was a major flaw in this movie that was hard to avoid. I won't go into the whole plot, but there is a part where Greg(Ben Stiller) allows Andi(Jessica Alba) into his renovated home after him and his father-in-law get into it. She brings wine and Chinese food hoping to "cheer him up". This is where it crossed the line for me. What married man, in his right mind, would allow someone as hot as Jessica Alba to come into his home, while he is alone, and eat Chinese food and drink wine. It's like watching a train wreck about to happen before your eyes.

This is where Hollywood ticks me off everytime. No matter what your faith is, every man should be on-guard at all times as to not fall into temptation like this. It's a moral compass that has been diluted by Hollywood's fingerprint of sexuality. Now, in the movie, Greg holds true to his commitment that he made to his wife, but it's not like Andi didn't make some serious passes at him, even going as far as stripping down to her bra and underwear, and of course his father-in-law, played by Robert DeNiro, happens to by spying on him right at that point. Had Greg not even allowed her into his house, this wouldn't have even happened. Why put yourself into a tempting situation like this? This actually goes for men and women alike.

Some of you might be saying, "Yeah, but it's just a movie, Alyson", and you are right. It is just a movie, but it's scenes like this that make us think that just "inviting the nice, young, attractive woman/man in the house" is ok. It seeps into our subconscious and messes with us. I wish the producers had let Greg stand his moral ground and not have let her into the house. That would of had me applauding till the cows come home. Unfortunately, this movie was tainted, in my mind because of that scene, and it's a shame.
