Father of the Bride

The best version was the original with Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett and Elizabeth Taylor. Watch THAT one.

The sequel is even more sugary than the original.

OP has no heart.

Definitely cheesy but i love it

The daughter is the most spoiled brat alive. I hate when everyone just caves to her demands. $250 a plate or whatever and she can't figure out how to cut the budget at all. What a cunt face.

Love it!

I can't help it but Phrank and his assistant crack me up.

Martin Short was hilarious as Franck Eggelhoffer the wedding planner!

George Newbern was still handsome back then.

Yep. Martin Short was the best thing about the film.

r9

Yes he was the me of that generation

I thought short was gay after watching this

Martin Short is the perfect Randy Fenoli.

martin short was amazing. the movie was fun. escape. you know, when you don't want to watch The Lives of Others?

it's a silly fun movie and there are no thrones or dragons in it!

Diane was the best thing about it. Kimberly Williams was meh. Steve didn’t suck, but played a slightly nerdy, befuddled white guy is not much of a stretch for him, is it?

The best wedding scenes in any movie imo were the ones in Sixteen Candles, all of it the groom's mafia hinted family, the bride on pain killers for cramps ~ the teenager with her mind on her own crush - the scene coming out of the church where the bride takes off her slip from under her wedding dress standing out the limo is classic.

Added bonus beautiful Jake.

Never seen it, but love the original. I have seen parts of the sequel where somehow Diane Keaton is pregnant. Yuck. Is it a Nancy Meyer movie? It had that feeling...like it was just all about how many things could the main characters acquire. "Isn't this kitchen FABULOUS?" Yawn.

Forget Father of the Bride - more Jake - and best movie ending ever.

The more expensive it got the more indistinguishable Franck’s accent became. I would watch just the scenes with Franck over & over again. Agree that Martin Short made this movie.

I watched this movie so much when I was a kid. I had a big crush on the guy who married Steve Martin's daughter.

Watching it was like being stabbed to death with white hetero affluence.

AND HORRIBLE TASTE IN CLOTHES

It always struck me as weird that Diane Keaton always drove. Steve Martin never drove when they were in the car together. Not in either movie.

Kimberly Williams: Oh mom, did you get a picture of the tree in the backyard?

Diane: Just a roll honey.

Horrible then, worse now. Only Martin Short made it watchable in any way.

They didn’t ask, but had they, I never would have taken that part.

So did I

Thought it incredibly stupid they would pay for all of the relatives' travel expenses and that the dad would spend the whole event parking cars. Would never happen.

Love this schlocky movie. It’s early 90s perfection. Rich white girl problems.

I hated the daughter too. I hated that the father incurred all these expenses for his spoiled cunt daughter... and he missed the father/daughter dance if I recall correctly because he was trapped?

Why do you all have such strong feelings about Father of the Bride? Do you think you’ll get through this?

I love the vampire weekend album. It’s reaaaaaaly good

R22 NAILED it!

In the original, when Billy de Wolfe's character suggests something over the budget, the parents abashedly suggest possibly serving hot dogs. I much prefer that and a father who's so worried about costs that he suggests elopement.

This is when Keaton started to phone it in.
