Leave your thoughts about Father of the Bride Part II.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelWhat Meyers and Shyer have accomplished is to create a pleasant, sentimental domestic comedy out of a family that really has no problems to overcome, not an easy feat. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe bourgeois splendor of the Banks house is a major feature of Father of the Bride Part II, a cheerful, harmlessly ingratiating sequel on a par with its 1991 predecessor. |
| Entertainment WeeklyKen TuckerSure, Martin and Keaton squander their talents on this sentimental piffle, but it's hard to begrudge these two stars a couple of commercial hits. And oh, those adorable babies at the conclusion! The audience I saw Father of the Bride Part II with loved this big, corny, old-fashioned movie; as crowd-pleasers go, it's a shrewd one. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseThe strengths of these films are not so much laughs as sincerity and heart. [Blu-ray] |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFather of the Bride Part II is not a great movie and not even as good as its 1991 inspiration. But it is warm and fuzzy, and has some good laughs and a lot of sweetness. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe curious thing about Father of the Bride Part 2 is that not only is it the sequel to a remake, but it's the remake of a sequel. As such, it's a perfect illustration of stretching an idea too far. Certain premises lack the necessary material for a multiple features, and this is one such example |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackFather of the Bride Part II is too long, completely predictable and unabashedly immersed in a posh world that is totally out of reach of most people. It's a comfort to see that riches don't keep some guys from being dithering fools when it comes to life's fundamentals. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonLike a trained monkey, Martin Short is trotted back out for more of his mincing shtick. But perhaps the most unattractive quality of both films is the ugly obsession with material excess. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealAn exuberant sequel to complete a near-perfect translation of the 1950s era comedies to the 1990s. |
| EmpireLouise BrealeySugary enough to induce immediate diabetes, this is not one for cynics. |
