''[[Meet The Parents]]'' is a 2000 [[Kafka Komedy]] that is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. It starred [[Ben Stiller]] as Greg Focker, Terri Polo as Pam, and [[Robert De Niro]] as Pam's dad Jack. It led to two sequels: ''Meet The Fockers'' in 2004, and ''Little Fockers'' in 2010.
'''''Meet The Parents''''' -- Male nurse Gaylord "Greg" Focker attempts to propose to his schoolteacher girlfriend Pam Byrnes, but before he can, Pam gets invited to her sister's wedding. Greg agrees to go along, seeing it as an opportunity to impress her family. However, Pam's [[Knight Templar Parent|Knight Templar Father]] Jack, an ex-CIA operative, is immediately suspicious of Greg and spends the weekend grilling him on any undesirable elements in his background.
Line 19:
Jack is afraid that Greg plans to leave Pam, so he studies him. Meanwhile, Greg's new job associate (played by [[Jessica Alba]]) seems to be interested in him; and Pam's old boyfriend seems obsessed with her again.
