About this movie

Male Nurse Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is poised to propose to his girlfriend Pam (Teri Polo) during a weekend stay at her parents' home. But here's the catch...he needs to ask her father first. Alas, the fur flies as Jack Byrnes, Pam's cat-crazy, ex-CIA father, played hysterically by Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, takes an immediate dislike to her less-than-truthful beau.

Ratings and reviews

An enjoyable comedy with lots of laughs from start to finish with a brilliant cast and even one of the best composers, Randy Newman. He creates a great soundtrack for the movie which works quite well for this movie.

Love all the "meet the" movies. All the actors work well together to bring in these believable characters. A great starts to a great trilogy.

Crass comedy has lots of sex profanity drugs
