Film #31: Father of the Bride (1991)


Directed by: Charles Shyer


Starring: Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, Martin Short


I'm sure every woman has seen this film (and most of the men too). It's a classic starring funnyman Steve Martin.

The film starts off with George Banks (Martin) telling us a story from his armchair and it seems that there has been a party beforehand (there is silly string, balloons and champagne everywhere and he has a tux on). He tells us that his little girl has just gotten married and then looks back 6 months ago. The story then follows his life as he struggles to accept that his little girl is getting married and how much the wedding is costing.

Steve Martin delivers most of this film's comedy along with Martin Short who plays the Wedding Planner Franck.

It's hilarious and heart-warming at the same time.

If you have never heard of or seen this film, then go ask your mom and she'll tell you all about it. She may even pull out the VHS from the old cupboard and put it on for you to watch.

I can't think of much else to say so I won't ruin it by adding jibberish.
