| SYNOPSIS
|
| Now
that Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is "in" with his soon-to-be
in-laws, Jack (Robert De Niro) and Dina (Blythe Danner) Byrnes, it
looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancée, Pam (Terri
Polo). But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie
and Roz Focker (Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand). The hyper-relaxed
Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from
the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just
no bringing their families together-which all adds up to a disastrously
funny time of "getting to know you." |
 Review
by ELISABETH LEITCH
From
teen movies to the latest Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts film, many
of today’s comedies deal with the idea of falling in love,
making a relationship work, and the amusing and sometimes hilariously
painful path a couple takes to get there. The movies focus on
two characters, their quirks, complications, and individual lives.
In both Meet the Parents and its sequel Meet the Fockers, however,
each movie recognizes a reality rarely addressed in romantic comedies
yet known by anyone who has ever been in or near a serious relationship—when
it comes to marrying or even seriously dating another person,
you are never simply dating or marrying one person, you are marrying
his or her entire family.
