Meet the Parents Movie
Gaylord Focker (Ben Stiller), a Jewish male nurse, is always plagued with bad luck and all his good deeds lead him into a string of mishaps. This time Greg tries his darndest to marry his beloved, Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo). However, after he spends his first weekend with Pam's parents at her sister's wedding on Long Island, this task becomes really tough. Things start to go horribly wrong when he loses his luggage at the airport. During the weekend Greg contrives to give Pam's sister, Deborah (Nicole DeHuff), a black eye, lose the Byrnes' rare cat and set their garden on fire. But there's more to it than that: his soon-to-be father-in-law, former CIA agent Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro), dislikes Greg very much and gives him an acid test. The strict and suspicious father even subjects his daughter's boyfriend to a lie detector. Will the Byrnes give their blessing to a future wedding between their daughter, the apple of their eyes, and the clumsy, bustling, accident-prone Greg?
