Storyline
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.

A flat-out hilarious mainstream comedy.

This buoyant, giddy comedy of catastrophe is the funniest film of the year so far, possibly the most amusing mainstream live-action comedy since "There's Something About Mary."

De Niro's performance works because it isn't exactly likable -- he's totally at ease with his own jokes, but he's not out to make us feel relaxed.

Chicago Tribune
These two actors have a kind of genius for dark comedy: Stiller for suffering through crises and De Niro for creating them.

New York Post
Part sitcom, part comedy of manners - but it lacks the courage to deal honestly with class and ethnicity.
