 Meet The Parents DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
Yes, 'Meet the Parents' is a remake, scripted by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg and directed by Jay Roach, who helmed both "Austin Powers" movies.
The premise is familiar to almost everyone: most of us have had to meet the parents of our prospective partners, most of us have seriously worried about making not just a good impression, but the right good impression.
'Meet the Parents' builds on this quite well -- but as usual with comedies these days, also goes too far a lot of the time, and other times, just isn't as funny as it should be.

Meeting the parents can be a stressful experience, even more so if you really like their daughter (or son) and have a vested interesting in impressing them.

 Meet the Parents
As Greg Focker, the anxious boyfriend who’s scheduled to meet his girlfriend’s parents for the first time on the occasion of her sister’s wedding, Stiller draws on the familiar traits that have made him a semi-star.
That Greg is uncomfortable because he’s meeting his girlfriend’s parents is purely prosaic; that he’s uncomfortable because he’s a Jew being introduced into an enclave of WASP-ness is an entirely different story.
Meet the Parents doesn’t have anything remotely approaching that scene (or its tangible self-loathing), but with Stiller’s tense, bone-deep anxiety you don’t need it.

Despite Ben Stiller's considerable comedic talent and an amusing performance by stoic acting legend Robert DeNiro, the cast of "Meet the Parents" can do little to escape a script that is only sporadically comical.
"Meet the Parents" follows unfortunately-named male nurse Greg Focker (Ben Stiller-There's Something About Mary; Keeping the Faith) who is in the midst of proposing to his girlfriend, Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo-The Arrival) when they are invited to spend a weekend with Pam's parents for her sister's wedding.

 Berkeley Parents Network: How to Meet Other Parents
I have never been a member of any of the for-a-fee mom's groups in the area (and there are a few), but have managed to build up a respectable network of mom (and nanny) friends (and, importantly, friends for my kids) just by going to the park.
There are always lots of kids there and lots of parents and it is generally an extremely friendly place - you start to see the same people with kids your age and develop nice relationships.
I also find that it is helpful to have to be at a class or some scheduled activity (a mother's group or meeting up with friends) at a certain time several times a week - I like the little bit of structure that it adds to our mornings.
