Storyline

In this sequel to "Father of the Bride", George Banks must accept the reality of what his daughter's ascension from daughter to wife, and now, to mother means when placed into perspective against his own stage of life. As the comfortable family unit starts to unravel in his mind, a rapid progression into mid-life crisis is in his future. His journey to regain his youth acts as a catalyst for a kind of "rebirth" of his attitude on life when he and his wife, Nina, find how their lives are about to change as well.

Goofs

Just after Nina finds out she's pregnant and she and George are discussing the whole thing, George asks if it could be a mistake made by the doctors. Not long after that, when they run into Franck, the nurse hands her the ultrasound image. Wouldn't George therefore have known that it was no error?
