Notes
Trivia: Pam's father's Thai is extremely poor and he is constantly repeating the word "What?" making it seem like it's a longer conversation than it is. Thais applaud De Niro's effort however. (more)

Goofs: Continuity: When Greg is trying to get on the plane at the end, the flight attendant makes him wait until his row is called when there is clearly no one else waiting to board. But when Greg does board the plane, it is almost full and there are still people coming on behind him. (more)

Quotes: Jack Byrnes: Are you a pothead, Focker? (more)

Awards: Nominated for Oscar. Another 7 wins & 13 nominations (more)
