Trivia
Jay Roach was terrified to direct this movie, and was nervous about attempting to sell the project to Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller. Stiller thought Roach was only pretending to be nervous. Roach swears he was not. "I don't think it was strategy", Roach told Entertainment Weekly. "I wanted them to know I was terrified. I'm really bad at faking."
Quotes
Greg Focker:
Hey Jack, why don't you tell 'em about your little phone call in Thai.
Dina Byrnes:
Jack can't talk Thai.
Greg Focker:
Oh no, Dina, Jack can talk Thai. Jack talked Thai real well.

Crazy Credits
During the opening logos, the singers in the theme music are lyrically commenting "Look at the light coming out of the earth" during the Universal logo, and "Look at the boy sitting on the moon" during the Dreamworks logo.
Alternate Versions
The airline version contains some slight modifications to the scene where Greg is on the airplane to leave for home towards the end of the film. In particular, the shot where Greg pushes the flight attendant away as she tries to take his bag is cut.
