A broad, high-energy family comedy built on the clash between uptight in-laws and free-spirited parents, driven by misunderstandings and comedic mishaps rather than genuine darkness.
Hard-to-crack ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes and his wife Dina head for the warmer climes of Florida to meet the parents of their son-in-law-to-be, Greg Focker. Unlike their happily matched offspring, the future in-laws find themselves in a situation of opposites that definitely do not attract.
