Meet the Parents

MEET THE PARENTS stars Ben Stiller as the unfortunately named Greg Focker, a neurotic nurse intent on marrying his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo). But when the couple visits Pam's... more...family home for her sister's wedding, he must first win the approval of her father, Jack (Robert De Niro), a protective ex-CIA agent. Before long, the awkward Greg and the suspicious Jack go head-to-head, resulting in hilarious scenes that feature a lie detector test, a suburban car chase, a toilet-trained cat, and a mean game of water volleyball. As the misunderstandings and mistakes reach an almost nightmarish peak, it seems as though Greg may never win over Pam's unflinching guardian. Featuring the inspired pairing of Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller (and an excellent appearance by Owen Wilson), director Jay Roach's clever comedy exemplifies every man's worst fears about courtship. When things for Stiller's character get bad, they just continue to get worse, culminating in a ridiculously funny airport scene. In the tradition of ANNIE HALL and FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, MEET THE PARENTS is an intelligent yet slapstick comedy about the eccentricities of the American family.

A very funny movie is hilarious. I would recommend this movie to anyone if you want to have a good laught. Greg Focker who in the movie is acted by Ben Stiller meets Jack who is the father of his girlfriend Pam. One of the funniest movies and it has a lot of comedy with some romance mixed up in the storyline of the movie. Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller played a funny duo specially when they are at the table eating a greg talks about him being living in a farm and milking cats which made De Niro act in a sarcastic funny way. I would definately recommend this movie just because the story line is funny and the acting is real good because they made it funny in every kind of aspect.
