Advantages: good movie, interesting storyline, very funny

Disadvantages: none

This movie was really very funny. It had me laughing at some point in each scene that was played. I don't think I have seen a movie yet with Ben Stiller in it that hasn't made me laugh. I love actors that are so consistent with the movies they choose to be in that you know the movie will be good just because that actor has chosen to be in it. This is definitely one of Ben Stillers classic roles that he does such a great job playing.

The story is about Ben Stiller's character named Greg Focker (I mean his name is even funny!!) who is a nurse, yes I said it a male nurse. Greg has found the love of his life named Pam Byrnes, played by Teri Polo. Greg and Pam are in a pretty serious relationship and they move their relationship to the next level when Pam invites Greg to come home with her to meet her parents. This is a big step in any relationship, so Greg is obviously a little nervous. This is such a monumental event that Greg decides this will be the perfect time to ask Pam to marry him.

However, Greg plans get put on hold when he meets Pam's father who does not seem to want to give Greg a chance. Pam's dad Jack, is played by Robert DeNiro, is an ex cop who shows an obvious hatred for Pam's new boyfriend. Jack seems determined to prove to Pam that Greg is not good enough for her. On this visit Greg is put through several tests and put in some very awkward situations that seem to make him look worse and worse in the eyes of Pam's parents and even Pam herself. Jack even puts Greg through a lie detector test, that is just how insane and determined Pam's father is to find something wrong with Greg.

This story is so hilarious because it shows the funny situations that Greg is put into while trying to impress Pam's family that is so very determined not to be impressed by Greg. This movie is hilarious, but I expected nothing less from the fantastic Ben Stiller.
