Get to know the people who named their beloved son Gay Focker. The director and stars behind Meet the Parents, which achieved a certain cult status, return with a tale about the in-laws, demonstrating on film that concept familiar to any couple: Your parents are just as weird as mine. The hyper-chill Fockers are played by a tightly permed Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman. Their son’s marriage forces their world to collide with that of the waspy Byrnes (Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner, performing with stick-up-posterior perfection). And as Gaylord “Greg” Focker, Ben Stiller reprises the role that has made his career: The fumbling, angry man who just can’t seem to get anything right.
