Stiller plays the unlucky in name, but lucky in love Greg Focker. At least it seems that he is lucky in love. In fact, the more he struggles to extricate himself, the worse the situation becomes.
White lies escalate to the perverse.
There is a good cast, including Owen Wilson as Pam's odiously successful former boyfriend and Blythe Danner as Pam's well-meaning mother, but make no mistake, this is De Niro and Stiller's movie. De Niro's father only wants the best for his daughter. It's rated PG-13, primarily for some drug and sexual references, but is relatively tame compared to most modern madcap comedies.
