IMDB User Comments

Are you good enough for my daughter? 'Meet the Parents' is a universal story that makes fun on what parents would do to vet their potential son in law. It was applicable to all sections of the community, but particularly struck a chord amongst interracial alliances as well as cross class alliances. Just what would a middle class family say to the working class black bloke that their daughter has brought home?
