Meet The Parents (2000)
This was absolute comedic gold for Ben Stiller (There's Something About Mary) and Robert De Niro (Goodfellas) in this comedy about male nurse Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Stiller) who wants to propose to his girlfriend Pam (Teri Polo), but ends up finding out that her sister's fiance asked for her father's permission. So, Greg and Pam head out to visit her parents where Greg wants to make a good impression for Jack Byrnes (Deniro), a tough as nails former CIA agent who has problems with Greg throughout the whole film. So, will Greg get Jack's approval to marry Pam or will the weekend end up being a disaster for them all? There are a lot of great moments in this film that showed you that Stiller and De Niro were just as much a comedic team as was Billy Crystal and De Niro. The movie also stars Owen Wilson (Marley & Me), Blythe Danner (The Prince Of Tides) as Pam's mom, Jon Abrahams (Scary Movie) as Pam's brother, and the late Nicole DeHuff (See Arnold Run) as Pam's sister Debby. I give the movie an A
