Directed by Jay Roach, Meet the Parents is a remake of a 1992 comedy of the same name. It deals with the premise of uncomfortable meetings with the potential in-laws. The film has embarrassing and awkward moments, which cracks up the audience, with stellar performances by Ben Stiller (Greg Focker) and Robert De Niro (Jack Byrnes). In the film, Owen Wilson (Kevin) plays the multi-millionaire ex-fiancee of Greg’s girlfriend Pam, played by Teri Polo. 

From Indie classics to animated hits and blockbuster comedies-Owen Wilson has everything to his credit, that makes him a Hollywood legend. Despite his tumulous personal life, the No Escape actor has been delivering constant hits. He never let his relationship dramas take over his professional life. 

However, many people consider him lucky because he had to audition for one film in his life, and the rest of them have been handed over to him. Needless to say, his recurring appearances in Wes Anderson’s films and the duo working together has helped both of them to flourish with some of the popular films like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr. Fox, She’s Funny That Way,etc.
