This week I watched Meet The Parents (2000). The logline reads "Male nurse Greg Focker meets his girlfriend's parents before proposing, but her suspicious father is every date's worst nightmare." The main characters are Greg, our antagonist, his girlfriend Pam and her father Jack. Greg's main goal in this film is to win the approval of his girlfriend's father and then ask his her to marry him. What stands in Greg's way is Jack's automatic disapproval of him and a continuous strand of bad luck that hijacks his every move. Although Greg tries his best to keep a level head this back luck is only further instigated by Jack's disapproval. Although the movie is a comedy and I thought it fit into its genre quite well - it is not a movie that I found particularly "moving" mostly because I don't enjoy this style of movie. However, I did enjoy watching it and will likely continue to watch it's sequels.
