Member Rating:  
Steve Martin stars in this remake of the 1950 Vincente Minnelli classic as shoe executive George Banks, whose happily married existence hits a bump when he greets his daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams), home from a semester studying in Europe. She tells her father that she is engaged to be married. When the shocked George asks to whom, she says his name is Bryan (George Newbern) and that he is an "independent communications consultant." George is even more shocked when he finds out what the wedding will cost (when George goes through the card file for invited wedding guests and is told someone is deceased, George chirps, "He died? That's great!"). As George is ignored during the mad preparations for the wedding, he wistfully looks back to all the good times he has had with Annie and sadly looks forward to the time when he loses his little girl. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

We really enjoyed this movie and we now have Father of the Bride 2 in our que. Some commenters seemed to want to have a dose of reality - we saw it for entertainment and laughs and we weren't disappointed.

The only way to watch this movie is with the second one in a row. I personally am burned out on them.

I love love love this movie! It gives a true insight into how a dad feels watching his little girl grow up, and it's hilarious. It's a great movie for fathers and daughters to watch together.

Why oh why do you need to remake a classic like father of the bride? Spencer tracy got nominated for an oscar for his performance and you think you're gonna do better with steve martin?

Yes, this is a funny movie. Steve Martin is at his best. However, why do filmmakers always have to tell these types of stories from the standpoint of wealthy upper middle class families? This is really the story of two spoiled, coddled brats who decide to get married. Daddee is going to pay for EVERYTHING of course, because he wants his daughter to be princess for a day. Most parents would have to take a second or third mortgage on their home to pay for the lavish wedding festivities that these two ingrates receive. Both "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "The Wedding Singer" show how the other half lives, which to me, even as comedies, are a lot more realistic.

This is truly a great movie. We have watched it over and over. As if Steve Martin isn't enough, Martin Short is absolutely hysterical. We quote this and the sequel DAILY!!
