Movie Synopsis
When Greg (Ben Stiller) was about to propose to his girlfriend Pamela (Teri Polo), who had been in love for many years, he accidentally learned that whether the proposal was successful or not, not only had to pass the beauty test, but also To pass the father-in-law. Pamela’s sister is going to be married next week, and Greg will be home with Pamela for the wedding. The young man thought to himself that this is a good time to please his future father-in-law and solve the problem of his father-in-law.
Greg’s name can easily be understood as the meaning of “gay·sexer” in American English. With such a weird name, it is destined that Greg’s trip to meet his future father-in-law will not go as smoothly as he expected.
Sure enough, when they came to Pamela’s house, although Greg was polite and polite, but when he always interjected and tried to be humorous, it had the opposite effect, and the face of the future father-in-law (Robert De Niro) became more and more serious. Uglier.
