Just as the original 1950 version of Father of the Bride spawned a sequel, so did the 1991 remake; like its counterpart four decades earlier, this story concerns a father who learns that his anxieties... read more read more... are just beginning after his daughter takes the big walk down the aisle. George Banks (Steve Martin) has finally adjusted to the marriage of his daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) when the fates drop a new bombshell on his head: Annie and her husband Bryan (George Newbern) announce that they're going to have a baby. While George's wife Nina (Diane Keaton) is happy enough about the news, George is thrown into an immediate mid-life crisis; while he and Nina were once discussing the possibility of selling the family home and moving to a place on the beach, George impulsively sells their home to Mr. Habib (Eugene Levy), a greedy land speculator. Now, with ten days to move, George gets even more unexpected news: Nina, who had earlier been fretting about the onset of menopause, has just learned that she's pregnant as well. George now has to deal with being a father again as well as becoming a grandparent, while he also figures out how to get the Banks family home back. Martin Short returns as Franck, the oddly accented wedding planner from Father of the Bride, who has moved into a new career organizing baby showers and redecorating homes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I would say this was much better than the first one. Being a dad and granddad at the same time is not only odd but hilarious. And maintaining both of them alone without getting any help from anyone can be more pain than the labor pain. The storyline is pretty same like the first ... read moreone. Like the dad always having problems accepting something new in his life. George Banks (Steve Marin) acted like a 10yrs old boy who doesn't want to do things but is forced to do it. But he always end up liking it no matter what though. So yeah, there is a good ending. And the ending was really touchy I must say. Just like the first one.

    Steve Martin plays a great Dad even though he got no kids in real life, that's odd.

    It was about the same caliber as the first with the same kind of comedy. Not great, but not bad. I think if you like the actors, then you'll like the movie. If not, don't waste your time. I actually think I liked the pregnant scenario more than the wedding.

Martin, Keaton and cinematographer William A. Fraker put this retro fluff over better than expected early on, but hour 2 is only for those who don't want their equilibriums rattled by surprises.

The strengths of these films are not so much laughs as sincerity and heart. [Blu-ray] Full Review

A sequel to a lousy remake? How droll.

A follow up as emotional as the original

More of a sequel for sequel's sake than a justified continuation of the story. Full Review

Phil Villarreal, Arizona Daily Star

An exuberant sequel to complete a near-perfect translation of the 1950s era comedies to the 1990s.

Cheesy pap, but a few glossy moments.
