Father of the Bride

While it was well made and the acting was great for what they had to work with, the script was boring and not funny. I gave it to the halfway mark and it just didn't grab me. I saw the original and like 95% of remakes it doesn't hold a candle to the original. Why does Hollyweird have to take great movies and ruin them with a remake. The latin part did not bother me at all. The junk with the wedding planner and her desperate attempt at being "hip" was too annoying.

I can only guess that it all comes together at the end but the journey to get there was not worth it. Everything was fine except the script. The script ruined the whole thing. I am guessing if you are a teen to early 20s you might find this entertaining but if you watched the original you will find this bland and annoying. I would have kicked the "wedding planner" out within 5 minutes of her rambling, or whenever she said listen up boomer...She would have been the one listening as the door slammed behind her.

This is definitely a movie that might appeal to younger audiences but not really to older adults. It tries too hard to bash the old and make the new seem like it is best. What annoys me about movies where divorce of older rich couples is that the wife always talks about how she didn't ask for all the money and yet you never see her shopping at Walmart and just saving the extra. The guy wouldn't have to work so hard if the wife wasn't spending the money. And the "you'll never change" bologna is sad. Why should he change? She accepted what he was when she married him. Anyway, those movie tropes annoy me.

If you like Latin culture, Miami views and a good romantic comedy, then see this movie. Love the blend between the Cuban and Mexican influences. The movie is definitely better second half of the film. !Que disfruten!

Look I have great respect for father character, but talk about wrong casting and wrong direction. This remake forgot what made the first and the remake such a good movie. It was the father of bride. The way the daughter acted you would think you want the father to leave the house. This movie lacked emotions, fun, and creativity. Yes it's a remake and everybody know what is going to happen and the original was the best the remake was great because of one guy Steve Martin the third round it lacked everything that made he first two so great. To bad it could have been great but just because you have a great location and you spend money it does not mean that the character of the movie would be good. To bad.

Watch the original, watch the first remake skip this thing called a bad movie.

Don't know why people are so mad about this movie. I enjoyed it. It was perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I'm from Finland and have very little knowledge about Cuban or Mexican culture, but I found the movie entertaining and funny.

I know it's a remake, but who cares. I've probably seen the original on tv in the 90's, but can't really remember anymore.

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have watched it if not for Andy Garcia. I've always liked him. Good thing I watched it though. Andy should do more movies.

I see all the mostly negative reviews of this movie and I'm actually surprised I know it's been done before but so have a lot of themes Andy Garcia can take anything and make it good Gloria Estefan is very good in her role and it's just a pleasant time to be had by all it's like nothing to pre ponder or post ponder but it makes some points and it was fun!!!
