Synopsis


Male nurse Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is all set to propose to his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo), during a weekend at her parents' home. But there is a catch: Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), Pam's intimidating, cat-loving, ex-CIA father, takes an immediate dislike to his daughter's truth-bending beau. Soon, a hilarious string of outrageous mishaps turns Greg into a master of relative disaster. "Meet the Parents" is an uproarious comedy smash about true love conquering all, against all odds!
