In this hilarious update of the much-loved Hollywood classic, Steve Martin turns in a winning performance as George Banks, the befuddled father who has a hard time letting go of his young daughter when she unexpectedly announces her plans to wed. Tickling funny bones and touching hearts of critics and audiences alike, this entertaining treat chronicles George's hysterical trials and tribulations leading up to the big event. Diane Keaton shines as George's patient, level-headed wife, while funny man Martin Short lights up the screen as the off-the-wall wedding consultant. Father of the Bride promises to love, honour and deliver the kind of motion picture fun you'll thoroughly enjoy! (Disney / Buena Vista)

Steve Martin simply doesn't have what Spencer Tracy had in the original film, and often he's unnecessarily annoying, but on the other hand, it must be said that the film manages to evoke those emotions. There are ideas here that are connected to human development, to changes in oneself, which moved me, I admit. It's easy to get into the film.
