Meet the Parents

“First comes love. Then comes the interrogation.”

Greg Focker (Ben Stiller), a nurse, arrives at his girlfriend Pam's (Teri Polo) family home to meet her parents for the first time. Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), her father, is a former CIA agent with a stare that could strip paint, while her mother Dina (Blythe Danner) radiates serene contentment. Roach shoots each catastrophe with the precision of a practiced sitcom, turning every misstep into a fresh humiliation.
