Homework Help: grammar

Need to identify five adverbs in this paragraph. I think I am correct but would like a second opinion. Thanks for your thoughts.

LITTLE FOCKERS is the “continued” (adverb) antics of Greg and Pam Focker (Ben Stiller and Teri Polo) who “now” (adverb) have two kids Samantha and Henry. Pam’s ex-CIA father Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) is suffering from some heart problems and is concerned as to who to put in charge of his family’s well being should he pass away. Due to the “recent” (Adverb) infidelity of Pam’s sister’s husband Dr. Bob, and their divorce, Jack becomes suspicious of Greg’s late “night” (Adverb) encounters with Andi Garcia (Jessica Alba), a drug rep offering Greg the opportunity to sponsor an erectile dysfunction pill designed for heart patients. Greg and Jack spar “off” (adverb) of each other as Jack stalks and questions Greg’s commitment to his family.

continued = adjective, modifying "antics"

recent = adjective, modifying "infidelity"

late-night (needs hyphen, but no quotation marks) = adjective, modifying "encounters"

The others are correct.
