Meet the Parents

Gaylord M. "Greg" Focker is a nurse living in Chicago. He intends to propose to his girlfriend Pam Byrnes, a schoolteacher. His plans are disrupted by the news that Pam's sister Debbie is getting married and Greg and Pam are invited to spend the weekend before the wedding at Pam's parents' house in Oyster Bay, New York (on Long Island). Hoping to make the best of the situation, Greg now plans to propose to Pam in front of her family and brings the engagement ring he bought for Pam with him.

After being given permission to marry Pam, the daughter of a retired CIA agent, Gaylord "Greg" Focker travels to Miami, with his fiancee, her nephew "Little Jack," her parents and their cat to meet his quirky parents, Roz and Bernie Focker. Roz is a sex therapist for the elderly, while Greg's dad is a prosecutor who stopped practicing to be a stay-at-home dad when Greg was born. On the other hand, Pam's parents Jack and Dina are traditionally conservative, which produces many of the movie's set ups and comedic situations. This movie shows an evolution in Jack's relationship with his family. In the first movie, Meet the Parents, Jack is always in control of his family, whereas this time he goes too far with his suspicious nature and covert operations to expose what he believes is Greg's secret past.

After marrying Pam, the daughter of a retired CIA agent, Gaylord "Greg" Focker now has five-year old twins. The film will revolve around the couple trying to cope with raising their children. Greg begins to go through a mid-life crisis as he ponders the rest of his life as his children come into play, he also begins to worry about being a good father and obtaining a stable job earning money for his family. This leads Jack to become highly suspicious once again about what is going on with Greg.

It's a family reunion the trio would rather forget when Melanie's overprotective mother Loretta (Shirley Knight), Victoria's womanizing actor father Alex (Hal Linden) and Joy's criticizing mother Philippa (Juliet Mills), who just became Elka's new buddy via the internet, pay the ladies a visit. And that is just the beginning when Melanie and Victoria, respectively suggesting that Loretta take risks and Alex date more age-appropriate women, find their parents together in bed... and Melanie knows Loretta is still married.
