Rating: Summary: A very sweet, touching film Review: I went to see this movie because I thought the first Father of the Bride was really great. To my surprise, the sequel almost lived up to the first one (a very rare happening in my experience). Just like the first, the movie can be a bit fake, but as long as you ignore that, it's a delightful family film that most will enjoy.
Rating: Summary: a great sequel! Review: I'm a big fan of the first Father of the Bride movie, and this sequel didn't disappoint me. It was great to see all of the actors from the original movie reprise their roles, so it really felt as if you were following the Banks-Mackenzie clan throughout all of their life events. The plot is, admittedly, rather predictable, but the movie is done in such a way that it is still charming and endearing. This movie has a great "feel-good" theme and has wonderful underlying family values, just as the first "Father of the Bride". I can't wait for a third movie!
Rating: Summary: The Must see movie Review: If you like Steve Martin you'll love Father of the Bride 2. With the original casting from part one, you'll reunite with them on another journey in life. This hillarious movie will have you laughing till the cows come home.
Rating: Summary: The best movie ever Review: It is the funniest movie of all times except Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me!
Rating: Summary: Great movie Review: It is very rare when I say that I like a sequel even more then the first but this is one of those occasions. This movie always cheers me up whenever I feel down. Martin Short is great as is Steve Martin. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. It is funny and the story is pretty good too.
Rating: Summary: Adorable! Review: It isn't very often when a sequel is better then the first movie but as much as I like Steve Martin's movie Father of The Bride I like his movie Father Of The Bride Part II even more and if buying either movie on DVD and I could only buy one of them I would definitely choose this delightful sequel, it's that good!
Rating: Summary: Martin Short is fabulous in this! Review: It took me ages watching certain movies to realise where I actually knew Martin Short from. Of course he's Franck, and he will have you in tears with the kinda stuff he comes out with! Some classics that you can just barely understand with such an accent are:
Franck: Father of the bride and a baby? GET OUT OF TOWN.
Franck: What planet? The planet of not wanting to die by a drive by shooting.
I had to virtually wrestle this back into my DVD case and out of my mum's hands. She loves both of these films, and complained a lot about me not having the first one on DVD yet. Is it my fault that the DVD store in Edinburgh as the second one for £6.99, and the first for lots dearer?! Grrrr, I'll get it eventually, although no doubt this DVD and Cheaper By The Dozen will go missing at points, or be put back in the wrong place by my mother! She'd better keep her hands off.
I love this movie too, but the grand finale is much better done in Nine Months, with Robin Williams as the Russian Doctor. Speaking of Robin Williams, how much does Steve Martin look like his when he dyes his hair brown?! They're practically twins!
Most of this film is predictable, as is its predecessor, but Martin Short shines, and you get almost teary when he helps out with Nina & Annie giving birth. He's fabulous in these movies, and the accent has to be heard to be believed! You will be crying with tears over the accent.
There's no extras on this DVD, not even a trailer - sacriledge!
This is a great movie to add to your collection, and believe me, Franck's character is definitely brilliant! It's a fun movie, but have some sympathy for me, trying to keep it away from my mum!
Rating: Summary: This a very Hilarious and yet sweet movie! Review: Martin short is so good in this movie! He is incredibly funny and so is Steve Martin! They are very good together! This is one of my favorite movies and if you like sweet comedies you should get this and you will not regret it!!
Rating: Summary: This was Martin's best movie! Review: Steve Martin is a mid-life man going through mid-life crisis! He is a husband and a father to pregnant women and he is great! Must see!
Rating: Summary: Movie Showcases the Importance of Family Review: Steve Martin represents a typical husband, in an average suburban, middle-class American family. He's married, has one daughter who is married (the story of which was brought forward in the original Father of the Bride), and has a son. Now that his daughter is married, Martin thinks that he can finally start from scratch with his wife and move to a condo. It turns out that just isn't going to happen.Why? Well, during a celebration of his renewed independence--it turns out that he inpregnates his wife, and thus he is going to be a father. It's a bit shocking to him, but it happens. So lo and behold, his daughter and wife are both pregnant. The story from there showcases what love and respect he has for both of them. Although it was intended as comedy, it is not a ha-ha laughter type of film. I just couldn't laugh at most moments. Yet, the film is an important indication of why every culture really values the family: there is some joy about being so close-knit together, even in times of crisis. Michael Gordon
