Ben Stiller is the unfortunately named Greg Focker, a neurotic nurse intent on marrying his girlfriend Pam. But when the couple visit Pam’s family home for her sister’s wedding, he must first win the approval of her father Jack, 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.

A sometimes funny, but extremely predictable comedy with good performances from the actors.

Your e-mail:

Story: 6/10 - A funnier than average comedy about meeting your future wife’s parents, it could have been a little more demented tho’, maybe the Farrelly bros. should have directed it?

Acting: 9/10 - Ben Stiller is an extremely funny actor, and de Niro is always outstanding.

Violence: 0/10 - Meeting your girlfriend’s family is torture enough.

Nudity: 0/10 - In a de Niro film, I don’t think that that’s ever happened.

Coolness: 5/10 - Has some cool new gags, but it’s all to mainstream to be remembered for anything else than de Niro/Stiller.
