Carlos I @carlosFibarra Feb 17 While it’s admittedly a pretty by-the-numbers remake that hits every predictable beat of wedding-prep chaos, Father of the Bride remains an enduring feel-good classic thanks to its heart. The plot follows the standard "overprotective dad" blueprint, yet it avoids feeling stale because Steve Martin is super charming, as usual, balancing frantic physical comedy with genuine, tear-jerking sincerity. It’s a sugary, polished slice of 90s nostalgia that succeeds simply by letting its lead actor do what he does best. See more Elizabeth B @Liznuke Jan 20 I don't understand why this movie was considered so good. I only found it a little funny, fairly forgettable at those times it was, and the ending was awful. I got mad at the ending. It took me 30+ years to watch this and I felt like I was tricked. See more Mariana T @M.Tezeta Jan 4 It's predictable and often has a simple script, leaving you wondering: what happens next? (But really, you already know how it's going to end). It's as if Steve Martin didn't dare give us "the father-daughter comedy"; but, at the same time, the film is imbued with a sensitivity that keeps you hooked. It will resonate with all fathers, and daughters will say their fathers are like that (or even more intense). The film mostly elicited forced laughter from me; however, it's simple and charismatic. Because it presents a relevant and realistic theme, it's perfect for making me thank my father for so much. And, obviously, you can't deny these heartwarming performances.

Besides, I love the way the snow looks at the third act. See more Joshua B @RT17112285 Nov 25 George Banks is, frahnkly, insufferable. The story is OKAY, but it centers on Banks, a husband and father who seems totally and completely uncomfortable with his role in life. The role he chose, mind you. It’s syrupy and tries too hard. I liked it as a kid, but now, as a father of daughters, George Banks suuuucks. Uninspired, unfunny, idiot. Learns his lessons, but only with help of every trite, flat, prop character around him. I hate this movie. See more Deborah S @extraneouspattern Oct 21 I remember loving this movie when growing up, decided to rewatch it and have way more appreciation of it as an adult. Is it cliché? Yes. But that doesn’t deter from the charm, wit and overall warmness that is achieved by characters and the story. So enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
