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.

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)..... ...
