Is there a phrase for the opposite of a meet cute? In the extended Airplane clip from Focker In-Law, Ben Stiller’s Greg Focker gets off to a turbulent start with Ariana Grande’s Olivia at 30,000 feet. The comedy opens in UK cinemas on Wednesday 25 November 2026.
Turbulence Before the Family Reunion
Greg is still a helicopter parent when his son Henry (Skyler Gisondo) brings home a formidable new girlfriend, Olivia, for the 80th birthday of Greg’s still-intimidating father-in-law, Jack (Robert De Niro). Everyone embraces Olivia, Henry plans to propose, and Greg sets out to prove she is hiding something, which turns the weekend into a rivalry that runs from an aeroplane to the kitchen to the bike path.
John Hamburg directs from his own screenplay. Hear the cast on sharing a set with De Niro in our Working With a Legend featurette, or watch the earlier A Look Inside featurette.
