This movie is probably a manifestation of every man's worst nightmare. Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Ben Stiller) wants nothing more than the approval of his girlfriend's parents, and to ask her father for his permission to marry his daughter. Unfortunately, her father (Robert DeNiro) is a suspicious, controlling, nanny cam using, ex-CIA hard ass. This movie is belly laugh funny every time you watch it, and even when thinking back on it. It also shows just how far a man in love is willing to go to win over the approval of her family. He buys rare plants, gets overly aggressive in a tragic water volleyball accident, breaks the urn of his girlfriend's grandmother, and even spray paints a cat's tail to look like Jinxy. It is a classic underdog story, that will make you uncomfortable from start to finish, but in a good way.
