    Teri Polo, as Pam Byrnes, seems the perfect girlfriend. But how would you like a raging bull for a father-in-law? That's the situation entered by Ben Stiller (as Greg Focker) in this blockbuster comedy from Austin Powers director Jay Roach. Greg is an anxiety-prone male nurse who spends an excruciating weekend at the plush country home of his girlfriend's parents, one of whom is ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes, played with brutal relish by Robert De Niro. Roach shows his gifts for pacing and slapstick fun here as Greg tries way too hard to please and ends up blowing up the septic tank, among many misdeeds that send De Niro into his signature glare. Owen Wilson (Shanghai Noon) adds another delicious turn to his growing resume as the silk-smooth and much more appropriate former boyfriend. This special wide-screen DVD features commentary from Roach, De Niro, and Stiller, as well as deleted scenes, outtakes, games, screen savers, production notes, and an on-location featurette.

    February 16, 2005: As if his name weren't enough of a curse, Gaylord Focker (Stiller) finds himself constantly fumbling in his relationship with his future father-in-law (DeNiro). The entire cast is excellent. And the endlessly hilarious mishaps nearly had me on the theater floor.

    June 29, 2004: A comedy of escalading discomfort in which a hapless schmuck digs himself into a bottomless pit by trying to impress his girlfriend's family. Male nurse Greg Focker(Ben Stiller) wants to pop the question to girlfried Pam Byrnes(Teri Polo). But she's daddy's little girl, and daddy(Robert De Niro) a retired horticulturist, has some old-fashioned ideas about manners and manhood. So Pam and Greg make a weekend pilgrimage to the Byrne homestead in Waspy Oyster Bay, Long Island; the occasion is the wedding of pam's younger sister. Greg gets off the wrong foot with Mr. Byrnes and never recovers: His carefully chosen gift, a rare orchid bulb, falls flat. A joke about 'Puff, the Magic Dragon' convinces Byrnes that Greg is a dope fiend, and the cork from Greg's conciliatory bottle of champagne nails the ornamental urn containing the ashes of Grandma Byrnes, which wind up being defiled on the dining room floor by the family cat,'Mr. Jinx.' Little white lies mushroom into ghastly whoppers. And Pam lets Greg in on a little family secret: Her dad was never a horticulturist--he was a CIA psychological profiler. Imagine: Every prospective father-in-law seems like a human lie detector, but Mr. Byrnes is the real thing. And so the weekend goes, from bad to worse to mortifying. On the plus side, the gross-out factor is surprisingly low, and the combination of Stiller and De Niro is inspired: No father could be more formidable, no son-in-law better equiped to squirm. But the movie's odd mix of humor consists of disconcerning, organic laughs rooting in Greg's exaggerated but reconizable situation vs. frat-boy yocks at the expense of his last name and profession. If only there were more of the inspired nuttiness that places the hiply Jewish Greg in competition with Pam's old Flame(Owen Wilson)--who took up woodworking because Jesus was a carpenter--and less feline potty humor.
