Meet the Fockers

'Meet the Fockers' is a sequel to the movie 'Meet the parents'. After convincing his fiancée's parents to allow them to marry, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) now has to deal with what happens when her father Jack (Robert De Niro) meets his own family. The movie received less favorable reviews than 'Meet the parents' .

Last weekend it was my turn to meet a new family member of my girl-friend: her sister. And although I haven't met my girl-friends parents yet, after last weekend I have to admit that meeting family members other than the parents can indeed result in a less favorable experience.

I had to address a barrage of questions - my shoe size, how long my mother had been feeding me, my dad's occupation - just to name a few of them. Her sister also told me that she thought of herself as a snobby person and wanted to know if I agreed. And as I did, the stage was set for an interesting conversation.

But apparently I withstood the test better than previous boy-friends so there still is hope.. :)
