I suspect that she was raised as her father being head of the household and she wasn't supposed to talk back to him. Jack can be very dominating so she may have a hard time when it comes to confronting him about anything. It would have been good if she did stick up for him sooner but in the end she did.

I totally agree. Pam was not worth it! The fact that she had a dieting family wasn't the worst of it. Her non-intervention proved how weak and careless she was when it came to the man she was supposed to love and care for. I would've walked away even if her father came to the airport to stop me.
"You asked me to find the son of a bitch, sir. I never thought the son of a bitch would be you." -

The OP is absolutely right! I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't have blamed Greg one bit if he walked early on, refusing to put up with the abuse. On top of that, she initially lied about her previous relationship with Kevin. There would be no way she would have put up being treated like Greg was and I'm sure she would have walked early on if she were in his shoes.
Thanks for pointing it out, especially since so many here have taken the time to criticize Greg. -

She is the most god-awful girlfriend/fiancee ever. I wouldn't have married that chick if someone paid me. Within the first 30 minutes of this movie I was rooting for Gaylord to strangle her and dump her body in the nearest river.
- Her class full of kids are trying to tell her something so she finds it more important to answer her phone?
- While your boyfriend is being grilled by your dad and assaulted with very personal questions you sit there in silence and keep chewing your food?
- Lie about your previous relationship and withhold that he was actually your ex-fiancee? Oh, then assume that your current lover knew about it.
- Tell your fiancee to go borrow clothes from your sleeping brother who he's never met instead of going upstairs with him to introduce them first.
- It was obvious that Gaylord was having the worst time of his life with her family and their friends, she gave little to no support. Not so much as a "they were being so rude today baby and I'm going to cuss them out later. I'm so sorry..let's go do it in their bed."
- Volunteering your boyfriend to go find your dad's ridiculously spoiled cat without so much as discussing it. Hell, why not "ME and Greg will go find it?" Instead she sends him deeper into the lion's den alone to fend for himself against her family who is clearly unimpressed.
With those reasons alone she would have been toast and that engagement ring would have been returned for a full refund. I can't blame Gaylord much because he was really just a nice guy not expecting to be reamed by Pam's family. But he waited too long to stand up for himself and tell them to go F themselves.

Great list! To add to it, when Kevin gave Greg the speedo to wear, the minute she saw him in it, alarmingly uncomfortable, she should have told Kevin off, or at least suggested he give Greg some trunks, which he probably had loads of considering his wealth. It was a blatant attempt by Kevin to embarrass Greg, and she said nothing. Granted, I never understood why Greg even put the speedo on since he didn't need to suck up to Kevin, but Pam's character really blew in that scene.
Also, Greg was right to be pissed that Pam called Kevin by the nickname (Maverick) she called him when they were a couple. No man or woman should refer to their ex by the term of endearment used during the relationship, especially in front of their current relationship! That was so, so BAD. -

She's a dumb bitch. Her character is the main reason that I cannot ever seem to truly like this film. She stands by while people dump on him and treat him terribly. Sure, he brought some of the stuff on himself but he wouldn't have had to be so damn paranoid and trying to cover every stupid thing he did up if Pam weren't such an a-hole who allowed him to be run over.
The most sickening part is that in the end HE is the one trying to fix things and get her back and she never apologizes or does anything to try and be a better partner to him. I seriously hate her character so much. Teri Polo has always come off as a cold person as well so her playing the part makes it all the worse (IMO).
Greg should have just got on that plane, cleared out of their place and let that skank go find someone else to castrate.
Dick, I am VERY disappointed. -

Having said I hate Pam too, I just wanted to add that I liked Dina. I liked her character for being sympathetic but also Blythe Danner was so beautiful. Love her or hate her, Gwyneth Paltrow has great genes.

Watching this now and one moment that stuck out was the morning where Debbie's in-laws to be arrived and Pam tells Greg to shower and get dressed. Into WHAT?? She acted oblivious to the fact that he had no clothes. If that were my boyfriend I would say lets go to the nearest mall/Macy's or whatever and buy you some clothes, because I know I wouldn't be comfortable borrowing stranger's clothes all the time.
