格雷戈（Ben Stiller 本•斯蒂勒 饰）准备向相恋多年的女友潘米拉（Teri Polo特莉•保罗 饰）求婚时，意外获悉了求婚成功成功与否，不仅要过美人关，更要过岳父关。潘米拉的姐姐下个礼拜即将举行婚礼，届时格雷戈将和潘米拉一起回家参加婚礼。小伙子心想这次正是讨好未来岳父，搞定岳父那关的大好时机。格雷戈的名字在美语中很容易被理解成“同性恋•性交者”的意思，有着这么个稀奇古怪的名字，注定格雷戈拜见未来岳父之行不会如他所料那般顺利。果然，当他们来到了潘米拉家时，格雷戈虽然表现得文质彬彬，但当他总是插话时力图幽默却效果相反时，未来岳父（罗伯特•德尼罗 Robert De Niro 饰）的脸色越来越难看。
