Shelley Berman (1925–2017) was an American comedian, actor, writer, teacher, lecturer, and poet.
From the 1930's to the 1970's, pretty well every comedian or comic you might see on TV or the movies was Jewish. Jews came to dominate the world of western‐society comedy on radio, stage and screen alike.Why did Jews dominate comedy in this period? And why did that domination end? Were Jews just funnier back then? And if so, did that extend to your average Jew on the street? In this 90 minute documentary acclaimed director Alan Zweig will examine these questions and many others in this exploration of 20th century humour, cultural decay, and a search for a missing heritage.

In the late 1950s, a fresh, unconventional style of standup comedy emerged in sharp contrast to the standard "Take my wife, please" approach. It tackled such previously taboo subjects as sex, religion, drugs, and politics, and ushered in an avant-garde era of comedy that was decidedly more cerebral, satirical, and improvisational than before. Here are many of the maverick comedians who took those big risks years ago and paved the way for today’s current crop of outrageous, in-your-face comics. Many of these rare television performances have not been seen in 30 or 40 years.

4년 전, 전직 CIA 요원 출신 예비 장인 '잭(로버트 드 니로)'에게 '혹독한(?) 신고식'을 치루며 '번즈 패밀리'로 가까스로 인정받은 '그렉(벤 스틸러)'. 이제 그에게 남은 건, 사랑하는 약혼녀 '팸'과의 행복한 '웨딩' 뿐이다. 하지만 이를 이해서 해결해야 할 마지막 '과제'가 남아있었으니,그것은 바로 '상! 견! 례!'. 여전히 '사위'를 맘에 썩 들어하지 않는 장인 어른에게 부모님을 소개하자니 '그렉'의 마음은 천근만근, 좌불안석이다. 하지만 한 번은 꼭 치뤄야(?) 할 그것이기에 불안한 마음을 뒤로 한 채 '그렉'은 '번즈 패밀리'를 데리고 '마이애미'로 향하게 되는데... 과연 '그렉'은 무사히 마지막 '과제'를 마칠 수 있을까? 자신만큼이나 '완벽한(?)' 사돈을 기대한 '잭'에겐 첫 대면부터 그렉의 '부모'가 영 탐탁치 않다. '변호사'라는 아버지 '버니(더스틴 호프만)'은 초면부터 키스로 인사를 해 대고, '의사' 어머니 '로즈(바브라 스트라이샌드)'는 히피 스타일의 옷차림에 성적인 농담을 서슴없이 하는 게 아닌가? '원칙'에 입각한 절도 있는 삶을 살아온 그로서는 절대 이해할 수 없는 부류의 사람들. 하지만 시도 때도 없이 애정표현을 해대고, 대책 없이 솔직한 '퍼커 부부' 때문에 정작 괴로운 사람은 바로 '그렉'이다. 가뜩이나 '잭'에게 미운 털이 박혀 있는데 '부모님'까지 왜 그런단 말인가? 급기야 '그렉' 부모님의 실체(?)가 드러나면서 '퍼커 패밀리'에 대한 '잭' 의 불신은 깊어만 가고, 설상가상으로 글래머러스한 유모 '이자벨'이 등장으로 '그렉'의 숨겨진 과거(?)까지 드러나게 된다. 작금의 사태를 더 이상 묵과할 수 없게 된'잭'은 전직 CIA 요원답게 본격적인 '수사(?)'에 착수하게 되는데... 달라도 너무 다른 '번즈 패밀리'와 '퍼커 패밀리'! 과연 그들은... 한 가족이 될 수 있을까?!
