Greg Focker is ready to marry his girlfriend, Pam, but before he pops the question, he must win over her formidable father, humorless former CIA agent Jack Byrnes, at the wedding of Pam's sister. As Greg bends over backward to make a good impression, his visit to the Byrnes home turns into a hilarious series of disasters, and everything that can go wrong does, all under Jack's critical, hawklike gaze.

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
TheNameBrand A cringe-fest of every man's worst in-law nightmare, set to a comedic tone. BUT, In the last 20 minutes of film it delivers the wholesome message that in-laws should love new additions to their family as long as the couple is happy together. If that sounds like your jam, this is for you.
merelyaninnuendo Meet The ParentsA surprise from Ben as it doesn't go anywhere; neither does the character nor the script, just some one liners helps you survive it.
audrablum This week I watched Meet The Parents (2000). The logline reads "Male nurse Greg Focker meets his girlfriend's parents before proposing, but her suspicious father is every date's worst nightmare." The main characters are Greg, our antagonist, his girlfriend Pam and her father Jack. Greg's main goal in this film is to win the approval of his girlfriend's father and then ask his her to marry him. What stands in Greg's way is Jack's automatic disapproval of him and a continuous strand of bad luck that hijacks his every move. Although Greg tries his best to keep a level head this back luck is only further instigated by Jack's disapproval. Although the movie is a comedy and I thought it fit into its genre quite well - it is not a movie that I found particularly "moving" mostly because I don't enjoy this style of movie. However, I did enjoy watching it and will likely continue to watch it's sequels.
Taylor Kingston I really like this movie. I thought it was funny, and I am very excited to see the two sequels; Meet The Fockers, and Little Fockers. This movie is about a man's worst nightmare. Meeting his girlfriend's parents. Greg Focker goes with his girlfriend, and soon-to-be (hopefully) fiancé. Whilst at the parents house, a lot of stuff goes down. Most of it being accidents, but looking like it's Greg's fault. Because of this, Pam's (the girlfriend) Father is very untrusting, and feels like Greg is hiding something. But maybe it's the Father himself hiding something from his family.Recommended for: Ben Stiller fans, and Robert De Niro fans.Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.
