Synopsis:
Now grown up, Henry Focker, son of nurse Greg Focker and Pam Byrnes, announces his engagement to Olivia Jones, a strong-willed former FBI hostage negotiator whose sharp, manipulative instincts immediately unsettle his apprehensive father. While Greg fears Olivia is trained to manipulate people, his formidable father-in-law and retired CIA agent Jack Byrnes finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her steely competence. As the extended Focker-Byrnes family gathers to navigate the impending wedding, old anxieties, new personalities and simmering rivalries collide in classically chaotic fashion, in the fourth instalment of the beloved Meet the Parents franchise.
Review:
A comfortable, nostalgia-driven return for the franchise's beloved ensemble, Ariana Grande's sharp comic energy providing a welcome fresh dynamic even as the formula shows its age.
