Meet the Fockers

Meet the Fockers (sometimes known as Meet the Parents 2) is a 2004 American romantic comedy film directed by Jay Roach, and the sequel to the 2000 film Meet the Parents. The film stars Robert De Niro (also one of the film's producers), Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner and Teri Polo reprising their roles from the first film, with the addition of Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg Focker's parents.

Meet the Fockers was released on December 22, 2004, in the United States by Universal Pictures and internationally by DreamWorks Pictures. Despite mixed reviews, the film was a box-office success, grossing $522 million worldwide, becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2004. The sequel, Little Fockers, followed in 2010.

With their wedding date six months away, Greg Focker and his fiancée Pam Byrnes decide to introduce their parents to each other. They fly to Oyster Bay, New York, to pick up Pam's father, retired CIA operative Jack Byrnes, her mother Dina, and her one-year-old nephew, Jack "Little Jack" Banks (the son of Bob and Debbie Banks). Jack drives the family in his new RV to Miami, Florida, to meet Greg's parents.

They are greeted by Greg's eccentric, fun-loving and free-spirited parents, Bernie Focker, a lawyer-turned-stay-at-home-dad, and Roz, a sex therapist for elderly couples. While Dina bonds with the Fockers, cracks form between Jack and the Fockers due to their contrasting personalities and backgrounds.

A chase between the Fockers' dog Moses and the Byrneses' cat Jinx culminates with Jinx flushing Moses down the RV's toilet. Bernie destroys the toilet to save Moses. Later, Bernie accidentally injures Jack's back during a game of touch football.

Pam informs Greg that she is pregnant, and they decide to keep it a secret until they are married. Bernie tells the guests that Greg lost his virginity to the Fockers' former housekeeper Isabel Villalobos 15 years earlier. Isabel's 15-year-old son Jorge, who has never met his father and bears a striking resemblance to Greg, catches Jack's attention after he repairs the toilet in the RV. Roz, Bernie and Dina learn that Pam is pregnant but promise not to tell Jack.

Greg is left alone to babysit Little Jack, whom Jack has been raising via the Ferber method. Despite Jack's strict instructions to leave him to self-soothe, Greg is unable to stand listening to Little Jack's cries and attempts to cheer him up by hugging him and acting humorously, but inadvertently teaches him the word "asshole".

When Greg answers a brief phone call from Roz, Little Jack is let out of the playpen by Jinx. He turns on the TV to Scarface and glues his hands to a bottle of rum while repeatedly saying "asshole". This leads to an argument between Jack and the Fockers about each other's parenting methods.
