Synopsis

Lost in Paradise

When the founder of a high-end fashion company gets marooned on an "deserted" island with a chef, romance blossoms as they work together to survive.

Meet the Parents

Greg Focker is ready to marry his girlfriend, Pam, but before he pops the question, he must win over her formidable father, humorless former CIA agent Jack Byrnes, at the wedding of Pam's sister. As Greg bends over backward to make a good impression, his visit to the Byrnes home turns into a hilarious series of disasters, and everything that can go wrong does, all under Jack's critical, hawklike gaze.
