Synopsis

Love's Second Act

Jamie is a filmmaker who needs inspiration to finish her screenplay after a studio buys the pitch. She finds it in ex-boyfriend, Nick, who still works at the small town movie theater where they both first fell in love.

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.
