Funny and Touching Comedy

George Banks (Steve Martin) has just heard the words every father dreads. His daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has just announced that she's getting married to Bryan (George Newbern), a man she met while studying in Europe. While George's wife Nina (Diane Keaton) is thrilled by the news, George doesn't handle it well. After all, this means big changes happening in his life. And he doesn't cope well with change.

So, naturally, he handles this the way any dad would. He starts watching "America's Most Wanted" in case Bryan is on it. And when it comes to planning the wedding, his idea is cheap and informal, much to the women's dismay. Will he ever get with the program? And if he does, will he survive the big day?

This movie isn't a laugh until it hurts comedy. There are plenty of laugh out loud parts, but the humor is often subtler. While some of George's antics are definitely over the top and border on embarrassing, the movie manages to find the balance between embarrassment and humor. And the ending it truly touching.

And I can't say enough about the acting. Everyone is believable. In fact, what makes the movie work is the fact that every one of the characters and actors seems absolutely real. The exception, of course, are Franck and Howard, the over the top wedding coordinators played by Martin Short and B. D. Wong who absolutely steal every scene they are in.

Whether you've gone through a wedding or not, this movie will make you laugh and touch you. And what more could you want from a wedding, and movie, then that?

My only daughter got married last April. As the wedding day was approaching I thought this video would be fitting! I'm just thankful that my daughter's wedding preparation, etc. wasn't like the movie! :D

Great interaction

You know those rare times when you see two actors really play well off of each other? That's what you'll see between Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Father of the Bride. Even if this movie were rotten (and let me be clear - it is far from rotten), the interaction and chemistry between Martin and Keaton would be well worth your viewing time. The two actors have accompanied each other to the Academy Awards a few times, so their on screen magic must have been in part because Martin and Keaton genuinely like each other. I went into this movie wanting to love it - in my view, Steve Martin is a comedic genius, and Diane Keaton is a fine and incredibly versatile performer. I didn't expect to enjoy their interactions as much as I did, so considering my expectations were high to begin with you can understand why I recommend this film. Remakes can be hit or miss, and this one is right on target.

Wholesome.

Father of the Bride starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and Martin Short is a delighful comedy that has wit and sincerity. Kimberly Williams plays the bride-to-be. Martin steals every scene, he is truly a comic genius. I highly recommend the sequel as well, even better than this movie. Enjoy!

Father of the Bride

Steve Martin is always good. It's nice to see him in a role that isn't nutty like, The Jerk. It's a great family movie. Diane Keaton is great, one of her best roles. Martin Short really makes the movie. The role of Frank is just "fabulous". It's a film I watch over and over.
