Stereotypes about Jewish

The movie Meet the Parents is about a Jewish boy Greg Focker who is a male
nurse and is in a live-in relation with his girlfriend. He is about to propose her for
the wedding but learns that before proposing his girlfriend he need to ask his
fathers permission. The journey began when he agrees to meet his girlfriends
parents. They visit them for the weekend when his girlfriends sister is getting
married to a doctor. The parents of his girlfriend has the set image of his as he is
Jew that he wont be able to take care of her daughter and is not the perfect
match for their daughter. Some of the incidents where we can see the
stereotypes about Greg Focker are as follows.
1. There is a scene in which at the dinner table the father of Greg Fockers
girlfriend asks him that wont he say the grace to god before eating the
dinner. At that point his girlfriend says that he is Jew so he might not know
the grace. At this her dad tells that why cant he say the grace? Is it that
Jews dont pray? This is one of the stereotype where his girlfriend thinks
that he cant say prayer.
2. Secondly the Jew boys are not considered friendly and they cant do any
work properly. This can be said by looking towards the end of the movie.
During the end it is seen that Greg Focker has lost his girlfriends fathers
beloved cat. He goes on to find the cat but he doesnt find it and instead
he brings a cat who looks exactly likes his previous cat. But the cat
destroys everything that has been prepared for the wedding and kept in
the storage. When Jack, his girlfriends father asks him he agrees to it. But
he tells his girlfriends family that he is still working as the undercover
C.I.A agent and planning a mission in Thailand, while the truth is Jack is
planning the Honeymoon for his daughter who is going to get married.
Due to his mistake of not blowing off the cigarette after smoking, the alter
designed for the wedding is burnt.
Thus form the movie we can say that people think Jews are not good to date and
they dont fit in the perfect family life as Americans think about it.
