Description:
Expect crowd-pleasing entertainment when Steve Martin (PARENTHOOD), Diane Keaton (LOOK WHO'S TALKING NOW), and Martin Short (CAPTAIN RON) return in this hilarious sequel to the comedy smash FATHER OF THE BRIDE. Having just married off his cherished daughter (Kimberly Williams -- FATHER OF THE BRIDE), George Banks (Martin) is ready to get footloose and fancy free! So when his daughter and his wife Nina (Keaton) both announce they are pregnant, George finds himself in one outrageous situation after another, desperately trying to recapture the wild and crazy days of his youth! You'll love every star-filled minute of FATHER OF THE BRIDE, PART II -- the riotous comedy hit that delivers double the fun and twice the laughs!
Amazon.com:
Everybody important from the first film, including the writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, regroups for this sequel involving a pair of pregnancies. Steve Martin's patriarch has a crisis when his married daughter (Kimberly Williams) is with child, and an even bigger one when his middle-aged wife (Diane Keaton) announces that another bambino is on the way. Martin Short is more effectively used this time around (he played the wedding coordinator in the first film), and while this movie's inevitable climax has both women giving birth on the same chaotic night, the overall effect of the film is less contrived than its predecessor. --Tom Keogh

Thankfully, "Father of the Bride II" does not fall ... Read More
Rating: - Funnier than the first
This film is funnier than the first. Given the subject of becoming a grandfather, and a dad again at the same time, this gives Steve Martin the chance to really cut loose - and he does!
Throw in a little bit of a mid-life crisis and you have a wonderful comedy!
Rating: - Father of the Bride is Hilarious!
I just finished watching this movie last night and I wholeheartedly recommend it as a great movie for the entire family! This is perhaps the best movie rental I have seen this year.
I have followed the career of Steve Martin since the 1970's. His comedy routine was really over the top in terms of his nightclub and television presentation. Lots of sight gags and exaggerated funny stories. I guess I expected the same sort of humor from this movie and fortunately, was I wrong. Instead, ... Read More
