The Meet the Parents franchise consists of three comedy movies following Greg Focker as he deals with his formidable, humorless former CIA agent father-in-law, Jack Byrnes. The entries connect by following Greg's ongoing interactions with Jack and the Byrnes family across different settings, from visiting the Byrnes home to traveling to Florida and taking on a job moonlighting for a drug company. Because the films follow Greg's sequential experiences with Jack and the family over the years, release order is the recommended way to watch them to follow the events as they originally unfolded.
