Plot: In this comedy from Austin Powers director Jay Roach, Ben Stiller plays a young man who endures a disastrous weekend at the home of his girlfriend's parents. Greg Focker (Stiller) is completely in love with Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo), and views their upcoming trip to her parents' house on Long Island (where her sister is to be married during the weekend) as a perfect opportunity to ask her to marry him. Once Greg is introduced to Pam's parents, however, things stampede steadily downhill. Pam's father, Jack (Robert De Niro), takes an instant and obvious dislike to his daughter's boyfriend, lambasting him for his job as a nurse and generally making Greg painfully aware of the differences between him and Pam's family. Where Greg is grubby, relatively unambitious, and Jewish, Pam comes from a long line of well-mannered, blue-blooded WASPs. Things go from bad to worse in less time than it takes to spin a dreidel, with Greg incurring the wrath of both Pam's father -- who, it turns out, worked for the CIA for 34 years -- and the rest of her family, and almost single-handedly destroying their house and the wedding in the process. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

Robert De Niro does not disappoint in this goofy comedy, And Ben Stiller doesn't either, I love the cat, it's a funny movie, "It's just a Game Focker!".

A modern comedy classic
Added 9/16/2009

A second DVD release ("Bonus Edition") came out at the end of 2004 to coincide with the theatrical release of the sequel, Meet the Fockers. The only additional material is more outtakes and some short featurettes. The original DVD had plenty of extras, including outtakes, deleted scenes, two commentaries, and more, so don't fall for the double dip. The difference in price is only three bucks, so if you don't own it already, it won't kill you to spring for the "bonus" one. But if you already own the "Collector's Edition" from 2001, there's no point in upgrading.

Still good for a laugh
Added 8/19/2009

Anyone who's felt the stress of meeting the future in-laws for the first time can relate to this movie. Though it's been out for a long time now it's still a fun movie.

Ben Stiller gives a super performance, as expected, and Deniro is outstanding as the now retired and ever stiff and humorless CIA officer who refuses to leave the clandestine life behind. The interaction and play between the two is hilarious. The series of unfortunate events that befall Stiller's character as he meets the in-laws is never ending. If there's a weakness to the movie, it may be that those never ending events get a little over-the-top sometimes, but the hilarity of it all far overshadows that minor point.

If you're looking for a fun and lighthearted comedy one evening, I recommend this one.

Excellent Script
Added 7/17/2009

Enough has been said reviewing the movie so i won't write another diatribe here... but i will say the script is amazing. the humor is very high-brow, so many will not appreciate the subtle humor because they will not understand or "get" it. Very good movie, Dinero and Stiller play an epic combination in this wonderful film!
