A Great Wedding Movie, 6 August 2006
8/10
Author: funky_cherry86 from Canada

I've watched Father Of The Bride numerous times over the years and it's still a good family comedy to watch Steve Martin gives a hilarious and heartwarming performance. I laughed at the way Martin's character acted when his daughter announced her wedding plans and the scene that was touching was when father and daughter were outside and snow began falling it was nice.

Martin Shorts role as Franck Eggelhoffer was both comical and very funny. George Banks (Martin) a wealthy middle class man has it all a great job, nice house, a beautiful wife Nina (Keaton) and son Matt (Culkin). He's in for the surprise of his life when his 22 year old daughter Annie (Williams) comes home and announces that she's getting married to Bryan MacKenzie (Newbern) a computer genius from a wealthy family. From that moment on George is in a constant state of fear and worry because his little girl is all grown up and how this wedding will cost too much.

The rest of the cast gave great performances I recommend this movie to fans of Steve Martin who enjoy his comedy antics 8/10
