Minnelli's 1950 comedy about wedding-day horrors is updated for the '90s, but is tamer stuff than the original.... read more on Time Out

very good

This film is heart warming, and I recommend anyone who have daughters to watch it. I got emotional in some father and daughter scenes though. Steve martin suits to be a father of a daughter.

Brilliant - laugh out loud funny!

If you like feel-good comedies, you'll like this one. If you like Steve Martin, you'll simply love it. This is Steve Martin at his best. This film role allows him to pull some of his wonderful faces, without being too over-the-top and frenetic.

Quite amusing

When I first saw this film a few years ago, it seemed really funny - and after just watching it again, I still find it quite amusing. Steve Martin does a good job, although his "Wonder Years" style narrative and the tacky father-daughter-basketball-bonding scenes made me cringe. Not the funniest film in the world, but worth a look!

Great Family Entertainment.

Father of the Bride, Comedy family film starring Steve Martin and Diane Keaton as George and Nina Banks. They are the parents of young soon-to-be-wed Annie. George is a nervous father unready to face the fact that his little girl is now a woman. The preparations for the extravagant wedding provide some very hilarious moments.
