Short description
Hard-to-crack ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes and his wife Dina head for the warmer climes of Florida to meet the parents of their son-in-law-to-be, Greg Focker. Unlike their happily matched offspring, the future in-laws find themselves in a situation of opposites that definitely do not attract.
What's left behind the scenes
- The filmmakers had to prove to the FCC that a person with the last name Focker (English: Focker) actually exists before the film was allowed to be released.
- Alanna Ubach, who plays Isabella, Greg's nanny, is actually ten years younger than Ben Stiller.
- In the scene where Greg and his father speed after Jack, the license plate of Bernard's car reads "TMI". This is a subtle reference to Bernard's character's tendency to overshare and provide excessive personal details. TMI is a literary abbreviation for "too much information".
- The bottle Mini-Jack is stuck to is Mount Gay rum, one of the oldest rum brands currently in existence.
- Filming took place from March 29 to June 2004.
- The horn of Burns' RV plays the melody "Puff the Magic Dragon", which Greg and Jack discussed in "Meet the Parents".
- Teri Polo (Pam) accidentally called Barbra Streisand "Boob" (a slang term for a woman's breasts), and this nickname stuck with the actress on set.
- The flight attendant who takes Greg's suitcase to the overhead compartment at the beginning of the film is the same one who got him removed from the plane at the end of "Meet the Parents".
- The horn of Burns's motorhome plays the melody of "Puff the Magic Dragon," which Greg and Jack discussed in "Meet the Parents."
- Teri Polo (Pam) accidentally called Barbra Streisand "Boob," and this nickname stuck with the actress on set.
- Actress Alana Ubach, who plays Greg's nanny Isabella, is actually ten years younger than Ben Stiller.
- The flight attendant who puts Greg's suitcases on the overhead bin at the beginning of the film is the same one who got him kicked off the plane at the end of "Meet the Parents."
