Meet the Parents (Review)
Male
nurse Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) wants to propose to the love of his
life Pam (Teri Polo), but before he does, he’s got to Meet The Parents. So
during a weekend visit for the wedding of Pam’s sister Greg has to try and get
her father permission.
As a prospective son-in-law's worst nightmare come true,
Robert De Niro plays Jack Byrnes who aided by 34 years of CIA training is more
than a little bit suspicious of his little girl’s new
beau. Using state of the art surveillance equipment disguised as nondescript
household items like a stuffed animal or picture frames he videotapes your
every move, chooses the most inappropriate time to barge into your girlfriend's
bedroom and turns your surname into the expletive of expletives. Greg is not
only cursed with a name that gives you an automatic PG-13 rating, but also a
poster child for Murphy’s Law.
