Meet the Fockers is a 2004 comedy film, directed by Jay Roach and written by John Hamburg. It is a sequel to the 2000 film Meet the Parents. The movie follows the story of Greg Focker, a nurse who wants to marry his girlfriend, Pam, but must first impress her overbearing father, Jack Byrnes, a retired CIA agent.
In this movie, Pam and Greg decide to introduce their parents to each other before the big wedding day. Jack and his wife, Dina fly down to Florida to meet Greg's eccentric and free-spirited parents, Bernie and Roz Focker. The Fockers are completely different from the Byrnes in every way possible, which leads to many comedic situations.
While the Byrnes' strict and traditional views clash with the Fockers' liberal attitudes and open-mindedness, they all try their best to get to know each other. However, Greg's parents soon reveal that they are sex therapists, which adds to Jack's already high levels of discomfort and disapproval.
As the two families spend more time together, misunderstandings and miscommunications arise, leading to hilarious consequences. Jack becomes increasingly suspicious of Greg and his parents, and their unconventional habits become the sources of most of the movie's humor. Despite all the chaos, both families learn to accept each other and come together to support the upcoming marriage.
Meet the Fockers features a star-studded cast, including Robert De Niro as Jack Byrnes, Ben Stiller as Greg Focker, Dustin Hoffman as Bernie Focker, and Barbra Streisand as Roz Focker. The movie was a box office success, grossing over $516 million worldwide, and received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike.
