Meet The Parents - 25th Anniversary
This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey take a nostalgic trip back to 2000 to revisit Meet The Parents! As we celebrate our own engagement, we couldn’t resist dissecting a rom-com that hilariously captures the chaos of proposing and meeting the in-laws.
We dive into the chaotic misadventures of Greg Focker (Ben Stiller), a male nurse whose plans to propose to his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo), spiral into disaster when he meets her overprotective father (Robert De Niro). From lie detector tests to milking cats and flaming gazebos, no awkward moment is left unturned!
Highlights Breakdown:
Awkward First Impressions – Greg Focker’s nightmare weekend with Jack Byrnes
Comedic Chemistry – Why Robert De Niro & Ben Stiller’s duo still shines
Timeless or Outdated? – Does Meet The Parents hold up in 2025?
Our Proposal Stories! – How our engagement compares (hopefully, with less drama!)
Press play for laughs, nostalgia, and wedding talk!
