Meet the Parents

Ben Stiller stars in a comedy about a young man's first meeting with his girlfriend's parents, an event that turns out to be more nightmarish than he could ever have imagined.

Comedy. Poised to propose, Greg intends to pop the question to Pam after first asking her father for permission after a weekend's stay at her parents' home. Unfortunately Jack Byrnes, Pam's father, takes an immediate dislike to the object of his daughter's affections. Determined to win him over, Greg's actions cause an unfortunate chain of events that ensure that anything that can go wrong, does.
