1/10.A witless and pointless entry into comedy.It's also insulting to think an unfunny hack like Ben Stiller could truly make it on talent and not by a lot of brown nosing.Robert De Niro, truly one of the phoniest tough guys ever, adds nothing to this.He's like an old cranky uncle who you visit once a year because your parents make you.Avoid this movie and its sequels at all costs.

Dina Byrnes: Now Greg, you have a very unique last name. Um, we were curious, how do you pronounce it?
Greg Focker: Oh, just like it's spelled. F-O-C-K-E-R.
Dina Byrnes: F-Focker.
Jack Byrnes: Hmm, Focker. Hmm.
Trivia: In the scene where Greg is entering the drug store, listen to the lyrics of the music playing on the speakers - they are very similar to his speech when he says grace in the dinner table scene. Obviously where he got his words from, but not immediately obvious unless you listen for it.

Answer: Greg was probably surprised at just how "richy" they really are. Because lacrosse camp seems like a really rich, preppy thing to do. But mainly, I think he was suprised because he did not know that his girlfriend's ex and his girlfriend's sister's fiance knew each other. He didn't realize how connected they all were.
