Comedy
A remake of the 1950's Spencer Tracy / Elizabeth Taylor classic in which an ordinary guy has to take on the planning, expense, and complications of his daughter's wedding. Martin Short appears in the hilarious role of the wedding coordinator while Steve Martin has one of his best roles as the man who realizes his little girl is all grown up.

"The film does work, but not quite as well as the Hepburn-Tracy classic that it seeks to replace. Mildly amusing." | ||
 |
|
"The material has been successfully refurbished with new jokes and new attitudes, but the earlier film's most memorable moments have been preserved." | ||
|
|
|
"Neither the '90s nor the husband-wife team of Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer can match the original film's grace or wit." | ||
|
|
|
"It's one of the movies with a lot of smiles and laughter in it, and a good feeling all the way through (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | ||
|
|
|
"Some sequences and dialogue are lifted directly from the original, but in the wider context, this merely serves to underline the remake's comparative lack of tenderness and subtlety." | ||
|
|
|
"A pleasing, well-crafted, surprisingly satisfying diversion" | ||
|
|
|
"One of the nicest things about Father of the Bride is that it's not ashamed to be old-fashioned and sweet. It's also not ashamed to get sappy and drippy and gooey, but you have to take the good with the bad" |
