Greg Focker is ready to marry his girlfriend, Pam, but before he pops the question, he must win over her formidable father, humorless former CIA agent Jack Byrnes, at the wedding of Pam's sister. As Greg bends over backward to make a good impression, his visit to the Byrnes home turns into a hilarious series of disasters, and everything that can go wrong does, all under Jack's critical, hawklike gaze.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A comedy of escalating mishaps as a well-meaning man tries desperately to impress his girlfriend's intimidating father, with every earnest attempt landing spectacularly wrong. It's the kind of cringe humor that builds genuine affection for its fumbling protagonist.
