Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrThe screenplay represents recycling at its best. The material has been successfully refurbished with new jokes and new attitudes, but the earlier film's most memorable moments have been preserved.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertIt's one of the movies with a lot of smiles and laughter in it, and a good feeling all the way through. Just everyday life, warmly observed.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson HoweThe movie, as a whole, isn't nearly so original. Still, it's a pleasing, well-crafted, surprisingly satisfying diversion. It's eager to entertain and has a quality that's genuinely rare these days, a spirit of gentle modesty.
San Francisco Chronicle - 6/10 by Mick LaSalleThe film belongs to Steve Martin, whose crisp, almost bitter delivery, although frequently off-putting, manages to put an edge to a film that, without him, would be mush.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Michael WilmingtonThe film does work, but not quite as well as the Hepburn-Tracy classic that it seeks to replace. Mildly amusing.
Boston Globe - 5/10 by Matthew GilbertAt first, Father of the Bride is so funny, it's almost sublime. The rest of the movie, alas, is regrets only.
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe main problem here is the gross inferiority of the new version to the old: compare Tracy's handling of the opening monologue with Martin's and you'll get a fair indication of what's become of commercial filmmaking over the past four decades.
User Review - 7/10 by StevenFWell it certainly doesn't get more happy or possess the soft chewy centre that 'Father of the Bride' has, it's joyful, weepy, heavily flawed yet such a feel good journey from beginning to end. Steve Martin commands the screen and calmly narrates this mash-up of coming of age, comedy, letting go and matrimony. Martin plays George Banks, a typical 'dad' who protects and looks after his own, so you could imagine that when his daughter, Annie (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) announces she is getting married to a virtual stranger in the form of Bryan (George Newbern) George is less than impressed, his slip of the tongue and erratic behaviour says it all, but there is never any danger that the film will throw some twisted turn of fate, a film so full of joy it can actually hurt to smile that much, while all the usual wedding obstacles occur, but these are really only there for the comedy value, not for reflective means, but the comedy is certainly there, in the form of Martin Short sporting a very peculiar accent, his flamboyant and barely understandable voice make up a fair amount of gags and generally funny personality traits. My lingering problem is the amount of fluttering butterflies that the film creates, it paints a picture that any wedding you wish to have is possible, which is untrue, but I don't believe the film was about creating a realistic explanation, but more show the journey the parents make, but again, the journey only seems to consist of daddy, as esteemed actress Diane Keaton, who plays other Nina, plays a largely unimportant role, perhaps a traditional scenario calls for a father and his daughter, but the mother is as equally important. Soundtrack, dialogue and flowing direction make this the joyous occasion indeed, granted it can often fill one with false hope, but strong performances and some heartfelt scenes make this is a very happy affair, perhaps one of the happiest, the chemistry between Martin and Williams-Paisley is convincing and full of meaningful tone, Steve Martin especially controls the situation, it's really his film and that's not a bad thing, his charisma and attitude make the film what it is, it's quite difficult to imagine anyone else in the role, even after all these years. Not the most convincing of messages throughout the film, but it definitely feels good to sit and watch the film, relaxing, funny, well orchestrated and insightful for all.
User Review - 6/10 by Compi24A sweet, if marginally amusing notch in the belt for then-husband-and-wife creative team Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, this remake of the 1951 classic "Father Of The Bride" is honestly a lot more effective when it strays away from its central conceit. The whole "wet blanket dad drags his feet throughout his precious daughter's wedding planning process" dynamic could not have wore itself more thin. Not only does it perpetuate tropes and stereotypes that just aren't as present in modern family dynamics anymore, it's just not very funny. Any and every joke that has to do with this element of the plot usually ends with Steve Martin making a goofy face or rolling his eyes. It's almost unforgivably overdone. Now, where this movie won me over was in its last half or so, where everything gets put aside and Steve Martin's character just has to make sure this wedding goes off without a hitch. The blue tuxedo, the moving of all the parked cars, the snow? All of that was eons funnier than anything we got in the hour before it. And the heartwarming resolution certainly doesn't hurt either. Yes, I'll chalk this final score up to the movie leaving a good taste in my mouth, but it's a score I stand by.
User Review - 6/10 by ERG1008Daughter returns from Italy, announces marriage, Father not happy, preparations, farce & hullabaloo!! Steve Martin is perfect as George Banks in this well written yet predictable comedy farce. Good support from Diane Keaton & a tremendously over the top Martin Short as the wedding planner. A mention too for his assistant who is remarkably like Gok Wan, a good while before the real one showed up.
