Meet the Parents (2000)

★★★★☆

Greg is your typical fool in love. He has a great job as a male nurse and a loving girlfriend and soon to be fiancée. The only problem that stands between him and proposing is that he has to meet her parents. What starts off as an awkward visit ends in utter madness as Greg tries to impress and deal with his girlfriend’s over-analytical and critical father Jack. Can he make it through one weekend without second-guessing his proposal? This is a fantastic, awkwardly funny movie that has as great cast of characters and a great rom-com formula. We’ve all been in Greg’s shoes; trying to impress our spouse’s families but this movie takes it one step further. That’s why it’s not only relatable and funny but it brings out the warmth and joy within families. It truly is a beautiful movie.
