This film should be called "A bloody case printed and distributed by a checked suitcase"

Unlike imagined comedies that are just a few steps, they are warm and soothing light comedies. I really don’t understand that a film with this rhythm can make it to the annual box office list. At the beginning, the literary and artistic heroine image also doesn't match the style of the latter. The only thing that made me laugh was the airport scenes towards the end. De Niro laughed "not angry". The father-in-law who loves his daughter and scares his son-in-law also has a strange contrast. Unfortunately, I don't think the father-in-law is too much. This film should be called "A Bloody Case Printed in a Consignment Suitcase".

Greg Focker: I love your daughter, Jack. I love her more than anything. But frankly sir, I'm a little terrified of being your son-in-law. This whole weekend has given me a lot of doubts about whether or not I could even survive in your family. I think you've got some serious issues.
Jack Byrnes: If I lighten up, would you consider marrying my daughter?
Greg Focker: Would you lighten up *a lot*?
Jack Byrnes: [unsure] Yeah.
Greg Focker: Yes or no?
Jack Byrnes: Yes.
Greg Focker: Would you let me and Pam live our lives and not interfere all the time?
Jack Byrnes: I promise not to interfere in your lives *all* the time.
Greg Focker: Will you stop making fun of me for being a nurse?
Jack Byrnes: Could you at least try, maybe, to consider another profession?
Greg Focker: Jack, yes or no?
Jack Byrnes: Ever?
Greg Focker: No!
Jack Byrnes: Okay, yes.
Greg Focker: Would you let me and Pam sleep in the same room?
Jack Byrnes: Don't push it, Focker! You're in a real mess.
