Greg grows suspicious
Stiller plays Greg Focker, who remains a helicopter parent to his two adult children. His anxieties rise when his son Henry, played by Gisondo, brings Olivia, played by Grande, home for the 80th birthday of Greg’s father-in-law, Jack Byrnes, portrayed by De Niro.
Greg becomes more uneasy as Olivia wins over the family, including Jack, and Henry says he intends to propose. Convinced Olivia is concealing something, Greg tries to uncover the truth, setting off a weekend of escalating rivalry between the future in-laws.
