Father of the Bride (15th Anniversary Edition)

Love this movie!! Purchased it as a gift for my son and future daughter-in-law to remind them to keep things FUN!!! Thought this movie would do the trick!!

This schmaltzy little turd is the gooey Hallmark card you put down and run away from. It just about ruined the good names of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Diane Keaton for me. There is a total lack of quality physical or verbal humor to alleviate the simpering sentimental tone of this film... and I like crappy sentimental films! The writing of the film is certainly most to blame and Steve Martin's narration makes me want to kill myself and frankly I've never seen him so totally unfunny. The same goes for Martin Short who can ordinarily make almost anything funny... but here uses an excessive accent, costuming, and hairdo to little comedic effect. Diane Keaton's faux mistiness as the loving mother is a total betrayal of all the good work she has done over the years. It's hard to blame the bland supporting cast for this disaster... I mean they memorized their lines and delivered them. What else could they do? However, no doubt to their dismay, this film was not a career starter for anybody that wasn't already a big deal. Eugene Levy's 20 second cameo is really the best this tripe offered. Take a pass on this one unless you like this genre at its worst.

A very good movie that you can enjoy forever.One you can share with the family for all to enjoy.A true classic.

Steve Martin is always good. It's nice to see him in a role that isn't nutty like, The Jerk. It's a great family movie. Diane Keaton is great, one of her best roles. Martin Short really makes the movie. The role of Frank is just "fabulous". It's a film I watch over and over.

You know those rare times when you see two actors really play well off of each other? That's what you'll see between Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Father of the Bride. Even if this movie were rotten (and let me be clear - it is far from rotten), the interaction and chemistry between Martin and Keaton would be well worth your viewing time. The two actors have accompanied each other to the Academy Awards a few times, so their on screen magic must have been in part because Martin and Keaton genuinely like each other. I went into this movie wanting to love it - in my view, Steve Martin is a comedic genius, and Diane Keaton is a fine and incredibly versatile performer. I didn't expect to enjoy their interactions as much as I did, so considering my expectations were high to begin with you can understand why I recommend this film. Remakes can be hit or miss, and this one is right on target.
