Male nurse Greg Focker is poised to propose to his girlfriend, Pam, during a weekend stay at her parents’ home. But here’s the catch… he needs to ask her father first, who just so happens to be an overbearing ex-CIA agent who keeps a lie detector handy in the basement. Naturally, Jack takes an immediate dislike to her less-than-truthful beau. Greg’s quest for approval gets seriously sidetracked as Murphy’s Law takes over and a string of mishaps turns him into a master of disaster and total pariah in the eyes of the entire family.
