I know a lot of people consider this a chick flick, but it's actually pretty funny and entertaining if you take the time to watch it. Yes, it has its..."soft" moments. But Steve is funny as usual, and the gay wedding... Full review

This happens to be one of my favorite movies. It doesn't matter who you have over, everyone should enjoy watching it. Steve Martin, and Martin Short are both hilarious in it. I would recommend everybody go and rent this movie.... Full review

This is one of Steve Martin#39;s best movies.....Even though there is not a deep plot or extraordinary situation to overcome, this movie holds your attention during the entire 105 minutes.....I highly recommend this movie for a night at home when you need a good laugh!.... ... Full Review

Charles Shyer is referring to the original Father of the Bride (1950), but he also explains the failure of his own version, released in 1991. Now available as a 15th Anniversary Edition DVD (featuring interviews with stars Martin Short and Steve Martin), this Father of the Bride has a few adorable moments. ... Full Review

Admirers of the movie will enjoy this surface-deep look at the production .......or maybe I'm just a sucker for the Steve Martin flicks.....And while I don't think Father of the Bride is among his very best films, I do think his performance here is one worthy of special note.....it's great to have the lady along all the same.....and it's easily the best film that Charles Shyer ever directed (unless you consider I Love Trouble and The Affair of the Necklace to be unappreciated masterworks)..... ...
