	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Father of the Bride \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		But with "Father of the Bride," director Charles Shyer and his co-writing/producing partner Nancy Meyers have managed to bring the story of the 1950 film into the '90s, remain faithful to the source material and still make an up-to-date, warm comedy.
		But there's inspired casting in Steve Martin as the father, giving the material a comic edge and demonstrating his maturity as an actor as he confronts the age-old problem of letting go when his daughter announces she is going to be married.
		"Father of the Bride" is very much a family film, with only a single vulgar remark accounting for the PG rating.

	Father of the Bride (1991) - A Review by David Nusair
		Father of the Bride is based on the Spencer Tracy/Elizabeth Taylor film of the same name, and follows well-to-do businessman George Banks (Steve Martin) as he attempts to deal with his daughter's upcoming nuptials.
		While Father of the Bride is consistently entertaining, there's no denying that certain sections of the film are far more effective than others (which doesn't come as much of a surprise, given the relatively plotless nature of the proceedings).
		Father of the Bride is a charming, engaging little movie that's elevated by some top-notch acting and a few genuinely heartwarming moments.

	Patrick Stewart - Film Work
		Filmed largely in Ireland amongst the mud and mist, Boorman's film is a treat to look at and is well worth seeking out either on video or the occasional TV run.
		The film is a visually stunning adaptation of Frank Herbert's cult sci-fi novel, with a fine cast of leading UK and European actors and a haunting soundtrack, but ultimately it never quite succeeds in fully capturing the scope of the book.
		Filmed in Vancouver, the film was something of a departure from the more intense roles of the past for Patrick, and it is clearly apparent he has a lot of fun with the role of the villain here.

	FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1991) - 15TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		Somewhere along the way, George's unforgivable behaviour is subsumed by Nina and Annie's unforgivable behaviour: he's Ricky Ricardo with the purse strings, and they're Lucy with stupid demands and shrill supplication, turning Father of the Bride into a long sitcom redolent with sitcom jokes and sitcom sentiment.
		You can't fake what you ain't got; Father of the Bride (a remake of a Spencer Tracy film that was hardly better), for all its glad-handing of cheer and all-encompassing warmth, has a heart as tiny and cold and calculated as a Grinch's.
		"An Invitation to Father of the Bride" (11 mins.) is the standard PR rigmarole with clips from the movie, more soundgasms from the quivering baton of maestro Silvestri, and more interview sections from the Short/Martin reel augmented by talking-heads with Charles Shyer and co-screenwriter/ex-wife Nancy Meyers.

	"Father of the Bride II" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		In fact, this faithful father is steadfast in devotion to his loving and patient wife, even boldly pointing to his wedding ring in fleeing the temptations of a passing seductress.
		While Father of the Bride II comes up short in the "faith" department, for a nineties film, it is overall quite remarkable in portraying such godly values as fidelity, family and friendship in a very fun and upbeat way.
		I think "Father of the Bride" was a good movie, the only part I didn't was when Franc was taking Annie to the hospital and met those guys, they showed a lot of disrespect to him because he was different; over all it was a great movie.

	A Method to His Madness:
		A balance between protecting her from the adult world and preparing her for it is essential because an overprotective father causes the daughter to develop a sense of powerlessness that leads to both abandonment and separation anxieties (Fields, 1983).
		Positive and negative results stem from the amount of attention a father bestows upon his daughter during her childhood, as well as the relationship they have when she is young.
		The father’s primary responsibility to his daughter is to serve as a "protector, guardian, custodian, champion." The sense of security that a father provides his young daughter builds her trust in him and in herself.

		Father of the Bride is correctly presented in 1.85:1 widescreen, and unlike its previous DVD, it is now enhanced for 16x9 screens.
		Father of the Bride's trailer, included on its initial DVD release, is naturally nowhere to be found here which pushes one to again pose the question "Where have the trailers gone?"
		The PG rating and comedian billing ensures Father of the Bride the label of "family comedy," and in that it's funny and appropriate for just about any age, it is that.

		Were it not for Steve Martin's hilarity and charm, "Father of the Bride Part II" would be a major fizzle.
		A sequel to the 1991 hit "Father of the Bride," which was a remake of the 1950 classic of the same title, this latest effort, "Father of the Bride Part II," is a remake of a 1951 sequel that was titled "Father's Little Dividend."
		More offensive, however, is the fact that this film portrays the Banks as fabulously wealthy, so that there isn't really any contrast with their ostentatious in-laws this time around.

		The stоrу, the characters, the асtоrs, the "dated" sensation of this film only confused me further on how this version of Father of the Bride could ever be соnsidеrеd a "classic".
		There were a total of two decent scenes in the entire film (Tracy gеtting eaten bу the floor and when he gets plowed at the in-law's house), but outside of that it was nothing but shambles.

		The original "Father of the Bride" was released in 1950 to critical acclaim and was one of the most successful films of that year.
		And considering that the film’s stars were not renowned for their off-screen family life, this reverent presumption of marriage’s sanctity is all the more impressive.
		But while so many of the newer film’s scenes are nearly identical to the original, the wedding ceremony itself is cleansed of even the slightest vestige of the divine.

	'Father of the Bride' better left in mothballs
		Father of the Bride, onstage now through July 2 at Hale Centre Theatre, is targeted for the most non-speculative theater audiences around.
		Though many in the two-thirds-full house laughed in the right places and at the end seemed happy enough to be there, Father of the Bride gave this reviewer glassy eyes and that dreadful feeling that its nearly 2 1/2 hours was really a 3 1/2-hour show in disguise.
		Though this one has been remade as a film (in 1950 with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor and in 1991 with Steve Martin,) Father of the Bride should be folded away in the pages of a cookbook wrapped in mothballs.

	Father of the Bride mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Continuity: In the scene where Annie visits Franc's shop for the first time with her parents, they are sitting on the couch in front of the window and you see a man in a tan suit walk past, then the frame switches and then switches back to them and that same man walks past again.
		Continuity: In the scene where the to-be-bride, Annie, runs in the front door upset, George and Nina, her parents, are standing in the dining room looking through all of the tacky presents Annie and Brian have received.
		If you watch the scene is slo-mo, the back seam of the jacket splits as Steve Martin is bending down to reach the door knob, the seam "reconnects", and then splits again, the second time with the ripping fabric sound effect.

		Whether a film demands that his music be dark and suspenseful (Predator), awe-inspiring (The Abyss), celebratory (Father of the Bride) or melancholy (The Bodyguard), Silvestri’s music never fails to move an audience.
		I think the key to communicating with a composer, and this is the place where Bob really excels, is the director needs to really know what he or she wants from their movie, not specifically a line reading from an actor or a phrase from a composer.
		The film was trying to create this environment where the audience could experience a kind of deprivation on many levels.

	DVD Review:Father Of The Bride
		The most enjoyable moments of the movie are the nicely done moments of drama during the film, which don't feel forced or sappy.
		As it is, "Father Of The Bride" is a passable disc in terms of image quality, but with the capability of this technology and the price that we certainly have to pay for these discs lacking any features from Disney, why should we accept passable?
		Disney does really nice work on their current hits, but "Father Of The Bride" is part of a group of discs that I sat down to watch that included other older Disney/Miramax films such as Four Rooms and Beautiful Girls, and I was definitely not impressed with those either.
