Greg had been going out with Pam for less than a year, and was planning to ask Pam to marry him, but before he can do so, he meets her parents at their home. Unfortunately, Pam’s dad Jack is a very conservative, suspicious and protective father, and he doesn’t seem to like Greg. For poor Greg, it will be a very painful visit. After arriving at Pam’s house, Greg does everything he can to get Jack to like him, but it seems that the world is against him.
