It is said that the daughter is the lover of the father's past life, if you are a domineering father who loves his daughter and is "hidden", how will you treat the unreliable stinky boy who will rob your "past life lover"?
Imagine that as a man who is very ordinary in every way, your profession is that of a nurse (not as respected as a doctor, who does hard work and dirty work)
You have a name that makes people feel the pain of the egg (focker, pronounce it for yourself)
How do you please a personable, petting cat winner in life so you can marry his daughter home?
Greg Folk (Ben Stiller) is such an unlucky male protagonist. Originally planned a romantic proposal, but was disrupted by the marriage news of the future sister-in-law, she was summoned to the girlfriend's parents' house in advance.
At the same time, he realizes that for his girlfriend, the opinion of his dear father (Robert De Niro), who has loved and taught the sisters since childhood, is very important. If Greg still wants to reach the peak of his life and successfully marry Bai Fumei, he must first win the favor of this typical middle-class father-in-law.
But how can things be so simple ~ As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, but the old man looks at the son-in-law, then it can pick the bones in the egg. For him, no one can deserve the big pearl in the palm of his hand that he grew up with careful upbringing, and Greg is not unable to do it in his opinion, but very bad!
Under the strong aura of the father-in-law's pickiness, Greg's door-to-door trip was out of control from the beginning, the luggage containing the marriage proposal diamond ring was accidentally lost at the airport, and he wanted to talk to the ground attendant aunt but was sprayed with milk by the passerby baby.
When he arrives at his girlfriend's house, he sees a model family as perfect as a magazine model room: a house garden, an elegant middle-class couple, and a noble and cold cat.
The more the self-ashamed Greg tried to express himself, the more he was humiliated, and his forced humor at the dinner table that was cold to the North Pole made the old father-in-law even begin to suspect that he had any ill intentions.
Even put a lie detector on him – yes, you read that right!
The father-in-law is ostensibly a gardener, but in fact he has a mysterious identity, that is, a CIA agent! He is the master of interrogation in the CIA! He is the most feared father-in-law in the world!
The film uses some of the camera techniques commonly used in spy movies, and also highlights the father-in-law's quiet, confident, playful, invincible control of the field, Robert De Niro's fiery acting skills and Ben Stiller's performance of the unlucky air bag aura just form a collision tension.
Let the audience feel that an elite agent, a lively treasure, these two people must have either crossed or walked on the wrong set, but this is exactly the effect of this comedy.
Gray, who was not elite enough, left an impression of his father-in-law's sinister intentions from the beginning, and the more he came into contact with his girlfriend's family and friends, the more he found that their educational background was incompatible with the class in which they lived.
The father-in-law thinks he is going to use his daughter to complete the spy mission, but Gray only feels the contempt and rejection of his girlfriend's family, and the brain circuits of the two are not on the same channel, so they make a series of troublesome troubles, which constitute the core conflict of this comedy.
The film is a classic two-man family comedy produced by Universal Pictures in 2000, for which Robert De Niro, who played father-in-law, won the 58th Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Musical Film in 2001, through which Ben Stiller also consolidated his comedic style among audiences.
In the Hollywood comedy film industry, there are two typical actors who are equally good at expressing the ordinary and the shining points in the ordinary. Ben Stiller's performance is different from Kim Carey's exaggeration and jumping, but more grounded, more like a hapless egg around us, and his acting skills collide with Robert De Niro, the film emperor who incarnated as a cold-faced laughing artist, in such a comedy, it is really wonderful.
In fact, the most fortunate is the heroine of this film, after all, there are two such "interesting" men in her life who love her deeply at the same time, isn't it enviable?
