  "account": "Paramount Pictures unveiled an international trailer for the upcoming comedy Focker-in-Law on September 3, 2021, ahead of its release during the Thanksgiving weekend. The film, the fourth installment from the Focker franchise, sees Ariana Grande joining Robert De Niro's \"Circle of Trust.\" Grande plays Olivia Jones, a California-based life coach who dates Greg Focker's son, Henry (Skyler Gisondo). Greg, played by Ben Stiller, is skeptical of Olivia's suitability for his son, even though Henry is planning to propose. The trailer highlights a family weekend where Greg tries to put Olivia through a series of tests, including using a lie detector monitor, which fails to faze the singer. Olivia also demonstrates her cooking skills and saves her suitor from choking during a competitive cooking session with Greg. The trailer features a track of RAYE's hit \"Where Is My Husband!,\" which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The cast also includes newcomers Eduardo Franco and the return of Owen Wilson as Kevin, Teri Polo as Pam Focker, Beanie Feldstein as Samantha Focker, and Blythe Danner as Dina Byrnes.
