Trivialidades:

The MPAA would not allow the name 'Focker' unless the film makers could find an actual person with that surname.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Gaylord's MCAT scores are discussed at breakfast, Dr. Banks says "board's a killer" implying that Gaylord took the "boards" and did poorly. The MCAT has nothing to do with the "board" exam. The "board" exam is the USMLE or United States Medical Licensing Exam administered by the NBME or National Board of Medical Examiners and is taken in 3 parts by current and continuing medical students. The MCAT is the Medical College Aptitude Test which can be taken by anyone.

Quotes:

[Greg is trying to fit his large bag into the overhead bin]
Flight Attendant: I'm sorry, sir, you're gonna have to check that.
Greg Focker: I got it.
Flight Attendant: No, I'm sorry, that bag won't fit.
Greg Focker: No, no, I'm not - hey, I'm not checking my bag, okay?
Flight Attendant: There's no need to raise your voice, sir.
Greg Focker: I'm not raising my voice. THIS WOULD BE RAISING MY VOICE TO YOU, okay? I don't want to check my bag, okay? And, by the way, your airline? You SUCK at checking bags, okay, because I already did that once and you lost it, and then I had everything screwed up very badly for me, okay?
Flight Attendant: Well, I can assure you that your bag will be placed safely below deck with the other luggage...
Greg Focker: Oh, yeah? How do you know my bag will be safe below with the other luggage? Huh? Are you physically going to take my bag and put it beneath the plane? Are you going to go right now outside, with the guys with the earmuffs, and go put it in there?
Flight Attendant: No...

Fun that any man can relate to

This film is off and on very funny, and ovrall it is a good time. Mainly due to Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller's performances as the father and the guy who wants to marry his daughter. Stiller meets the parents (De Niro and Blythe Danner) in one very chaotic weekend in Long Island where anything that can go wrong for Stiller does (a spraypainted and potty trained cat, burning down by accident the alter, overflowing the septic tank, being caught with a dragon that he likes to puff and telling a story about a cat that is a show-stopper) and enhances the comedy. A feel-good comedy, even if it may hit close to home for many a lot of men. Directed by Jay Roach (or Austin Powers and Mystery Alaska fame). A-
