I watched Father of The Bride a few years ago and I really loved it! It gave me a lot of laughs and I am a huge fan of Kieran Culkin so I absolutely loved Matty's sense of humor and sweetness! He was such a kind and funny kid who gave me laughs!Steve Martin is a remarkable actor that I absolutely loved! He was so silly! My favorite scene was when he fell in the pool! That was such a funny scene!I give this movie a 10/10!

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.

Charles Shyer directs this remake of the original classic comedy starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. This modernized retake has George Banks(Steve Martin)coming a little unglued upon the announcement of his daughter Annie's(Kimberley Williams)marriage to an independent communications consultant. Groom-to-be Bryan(George Newbern)tries to do everything right to make the best impression; Daddy Banks is just more than sentimental about "losing" his daughter, but he completely warps when he finds out what the wedding will end up costing. Trying to not get got up in the wedding planning, George thinks back about the good times he has had with Annie. Diane Keaton plays the mother of the bride. Martin is pretty funny without getting ridiculous. And the bride couldn't be more lovely. Also in the cast: Martin Short, Kieran Culkin, Peter Michael Goetz and Kate McGregor-Stewart.

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.
