Having given permission to male nurse Greg Focker (Stiller) to wed his daughter (Polo), ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes (De Niro) and his wife (Danner) travel to Detroit to "meet the parents", who this time around are Mr. and Mrs. Focker, who are as different from them as can be. As asked in the first movie, what sort of people name their son Gay M. Focker?

De Niro's 'Meet The Parents' was a real hoot - as was his 'Analyze This'. We've already had one sequel slammed as a pale shadow of the original. This would appear to have more potential. And while there has been a lot of speculation of Ben's real parents (Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller) playing his screen family, that's nixed since Hoffman was hired.
