    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kimberly Williams-Paisley and George Newbern were filmed in a series of Hallmark Card commercials as a couple.
    • Goofs
      In the supermarket, George says that he's removing 4 hot dog buns from the packet of 12 because he only wants 8 buns to go with 8 wieners. Yet he does this with 3 packets of buns. So if he'd just taken 2 packs of 12, he would have the same amount as 3 packs of 8. But then he probably isn't thinking straight because he's stressed with the wedding plans.
    • Quotes

      Stock Boy: [at a supermarket] Excuse me, sir, but what are you doing?

      George: I'll tell you what I'm doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don't need. So I am removing the superfluous buns.

      Stock Boy: I'm sorry, sir. But you're going to have to pay for all twelve buns. They're not marked individually.

      George: Yeah. And you want to know why? Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public. Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nit-wits...

      Assistant Manager of Supermarket: [observing from the side] Get me security.

      George: Who will pay for everything they don't need rather than make a stink! Well, they're not ripping off *this* nit-wit anymore because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need. George Banks is saying no!

      Stock Boy: Who's George Banks?

      George: Me!

    A heart warming film that will make you laugh and cry
    I first viewed this film when I was about ten years old or so. I instantly fell in love with it and added it to my collection a few days later. This heart warming film tells the tale of a dad struggling to cope with his daughter's impending marriage to a man he's just met. Played by Steve Martin, George Banks delivers a praise worthy comedic performance as he falls into the in laws pool and meets with the wedding planner, Frank, played by the ever inspiring Martin Short. Father of the Bride welcomes newcomer Kimberley Williams to the screen. She gives a decent performance as an ordinary girl in love. There is nothing spectacular about her acting or even her character for that matter. Fans will be pleased to know that she stars in an ABC family original movie entitled "Lucky Seven", in which her character is much more complex. This film as a whole is belly busting hilarious yet never loses the touching effect it was designed to create. A favorite among families and heartbroken women alike, Father of the Bride is a film to be treasured.
