Greg Focker, a male nurse from Chicago and chronic under-achiever, faces the daunting task of meeting his girlfriend Pam Byrnes' parents, Jack and Dina. With Jack being a former CIA agent, Greg's proposal is met with suspicion and overbearing protectiveness, making for every date's worst nightmare. Director Jay Roach and writers Greg Glienna, Mary Ruth Clarke, and Jim Herzfeld bring this star-studded comedy to life, with Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, and Teri Polo as the lead actors.
