Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Blistering performances.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It you want to receive problem with stomach-watch this movie-both parts. To pay for wedding to wedding agency who boss has no idea which hand is right and which left. If the dughter is so independence let's she find the money for the wedding or her future(rich????) husband. Much sorry that till now nobody made altenate ending-backyard full of graves-the wedding, the husband and the mother in one coffin and Steve Marting dancing over it. This movie really DESERVES such kind of ending.

I find Steve Martin's films a bit inconsistent but there is no doubting the talent of the man, and this film highlights those perfectly.There isn't really much plot to talk about really. It's the story of how a father reacts to his daughters upcoming wedding.However what makes this film so special is that it is full of lovely moments and sentimental without becoming cloying.Steve Martin may be the central point for the comedy but credit must also be given to Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams who do well in their roles. As for Martin Short's role...well, you'll either love it or hate it.Overall a lovely sweet hearted film. I've not seen the sequel as yet but to be honest I think this is one film that could have been left alone.

i absolutely loved this movie,,very funny Martin Short, Bronson Pinchot , Steve Martin what more could you hope for,, the father,, George Banks finds out his little girl is getting married and proceeds to go off of the deep end, as i would to whenever mine gets married, he tries to cut corners . because it will cost 250 dollars a head for the wedding,, he meets his future son-in-law and very cautiously accepts him, there is lots and lots of comedy and slapstick in this one, especially the now infamous hot dog bun scene,, where he snapped, and lands himself in jail for causing a scene at the local grocery store,, i think they kinda overdid it just a little with putting in snow in L.A in winter,, because it never snows there anyway,, but all in all i really liked this movie, because it shows how a father feels when it' time to let go of his little girl.

Steve Martin as usual is very good in almost every movie he makes in my opinion. This movie is very funny. The story is very simple, yet, wonderful. In terms of acting its extremely well done. Sets are are also very good, detailed as well. This is probably one of the best "wedding" movies ever, something that made it extremely unique was "Frank", the wedding planner. Every scene he is in, I promise you will not be able to keep your laughs in, I myself, laughed, till I could not breathe. This to me is what makes a great comedy. The humor is mostly oral, not much physical humor. I highly recommend watching "Father of The Bride 2", it is just as funny, if not, funnier, which is quite strange, usually, the first movie is always funnier. Father of The Bride 2 is more the proper ending for the story, although it seems it ends at the first movie. I recommend this movie to people who enjoy a movie that has a simple, yet unique story, and is very funny. Overall this movie is great, there is no particular highlight, everything is excellent, but yes, Frank stands out!
