    Storyline

    Edit

    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

      George: Annie, it's a little nippy out, you might want to put on a sweater.

      Annie: Dad, it's okay, I'm kinda warm.

      George: Still, there's a chill in the air and you've been on a plane.

      Annie: Dad, I'm fine.

      Bryan: Annie, it is kinda cold out.

      Annie: It is?

      Bryan: Yeah.

      Annie: All right, thanks, I'll get my jacket.

      The words The End is cursively written at the end of the movie while George and Nina are slow dancing.

    Miss these movies
    Why can't they bring back this genre of movies? Simple, every day life without super drama. Watching a dad have a meltdown over his daughter's wedding is realistic and Steve Martin's character is so relatable. The super market moment with the hot dog buns is hilarious and so dead on. Nowadays it feels like writers/producers have no idea what is happening in the real world. I have watched countless movies where the characters drive new cars and $500k+ houses and are portrayed as the struggling, all-American family lol even though this family has a stunning house, they still come across grounded and humble.
