It's April 20th. This is Entertainment and celebrity news. Today, powered by AI, your front row to the latest buzz, I'm Quarry with the story. Robert De Niro dropped Jaws as Cinemacon when he called Ariana Grande, the most talented screen partner he's ever had during promo for the new Mita, Parents Flick, Focker and Law. The 82-year-old legend was there, with Ben Stiller unveiling the trailer on April 15th, and he even pointed out her Oscar nomination for. Wicked, while noting Stiller has zero. It's the fourth movie in the franchise, hitting theaters November 25th. The plot picks up 15 years after Little Fockers, with Stiller's character stepping into De Niro's old father-in-law role. His son, played by Skyler Gassando, gets engaged to Grande's tough XFBI negotiator, marking her first big screen team up with De Niro. Fans head back hard online, calling the praise a low blow to Stiller's long career, and De Niro's past co-stars like Meryl Streep, Al Pacino and Jodie, Foster.
Some fumed and destroys legacies, while others defended Ariana, saying it's a huge complement from a vet like him. The trailer stirred more drama too, with viewers spotting an obvious stunt double in a bike race crash between Grande and Stiller, pulled her right out of the comedy vibe. Critics also slammed her casting as a cash grab next to Heavyweights. All this buzz has the internet split, but with the film's dream team and fresh story, eyes are locked on whether it delivers laughs come release.
