Description: Two years after the events of the first film, Greg Focker and his fiancée Pam Byrnes decide to introduce their parents to each other. They first travel to Oyster Bay, New York, to pick up Pam’s father, Jack Byrnes, a retired CIA agent, her mother Dina, and Pam’s infant nephew, Little Jack. Instead of heading to the airport as planned, Jack chooses to drive the family to Miami in his new RV to meet Greg’s parents.
Upon arriving in Miami, Greg, Pam, and Pam’s parents meet Greg’s parents—Bernie Focker, a former lawyer turned stay-at-home dad, and Roz Focker, a sex therapist for older couples. The contrasting personalities of Jack and the Fockers quickly lead to tension. The visit takes a chaotic turn when the Fockers’ dog, Moses, chases the Byrneses’ cat, Jinx, resulting in Moses being flushed down the RV toilet. Bernie has to destroy the toilet to save the dog. Later, during a touch football game, Bernie accidentally injures Jack’s back.
Pam reveals to Greg that she is pregnant, and they agree to keep it a secret until after their wedding. Jack’s suspicions about Greg grow when they meet the Fockers’ former housekeeper, Isabel Villalobos. Bernie casually mentions that Greg lost his virginity to Isabel 15 years earlier. Isabel’s 15-year-old son, Jorge, who has never met his father and resembles Greg, further fuels Jack’s doubts. Meanwhile, Roz, Bernie, and Dina discover Pam’s pregnancy but promise not to tell Jack. Greg is left to babysit Little Jack, who has been raised by Jack using the Ferber method.
