Plot

Steve Martin stars in this remake of the 1950 Vincente Minnelli classic as shoe executive George Banks, whose happily married existence hits a bump when he greets his daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams), home from a semester studying in Europe. She tells her father that she is engaged to be married. When the shocked George asks to whom, she says his name is Bryan (George Newbern) and that he is an "independent communications consultant." George is even more shocked when he finds out what the wedding will cost (when George goes through the card file for invited wedding guests and is told someone is deceased, George chirps, "He died? That's great!"). As George is ignored during the mad preparations for the wedding, he wistfully looks back to all the good times he has had with Annie and sadly looks forward to the time when he loses his little girl. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

IMDb profile

Father of the Bride is a 1991 comedy film starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, George Newbern, Martin Short, and Kieran Culkin. The movie's soundtrack was scored by Alan Silvestri and was influenced by Jazz and Christmas instrumentations. The Temptations (and their performance of "My Girl") joined up with several other groups and artists to add musical numbers to the movie as well. It is a remake of the 1950 movie of the same name. In 1995, a theatrical sequel, Father of the Bride Part II, was released.

This film is number 92 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies".

Plot

George Banks (Steve Martin) is an ordinary, upper-middle-class man whose 22-year-old daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has decided to marry a man (George Newbern) from an upper-class family. George can't think of what life would be like without his daughter and becomes slightly insane, although his wife (Diane Keaton) tries to make him happy for Annie. When the wedding takes place at their home, along with a foreign wedding planner named Franck (Martin Short) taking over the ceremony, George must try to handle the fact that kids eventually grow up. Short and Martin have also been in The Prince Of Egypt together.

Sequel

This film spun-off a sequel, Father of the Bride Part II.

The film also inspired a semi-spin-off, in a series of Hallmark commercials that featured the smiling faces of the happy couple and sneak-peeks at the backs of numerous greeting cards.

Trivia

The part of Annie, originally went to Phoebe Cates, but she declined due to pregnancy.
