VHS Movie Reviews of Father of the Bride (1991) [VHS]

Movie Review: Love Steve Martin
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased Father of the Bride & Father of the Bride 2 for my Dad. When I was shopping for gifts for my bridesmaids & groomsmen I came up with the idea to give these to my dad on the morning of my wedding. Was a nice touch - he loved both these movies.

Movie Review: Father Of The Bride
Summary: 5 Stars

I am very happy with my purchase of Father Of The Bride. It arrived on time and was in great shape. Thank You.

Movie Review: a fun movie
Summary: 4 Stars

this is a fun movie to watch even though I will probably never be able to afford the wedding shown in the movie. A fun Movie, I recommend it.

Movie Review: Two stories, for two different audiences
Summary: 3 Stars

This is two stories in one. The first is a comedy, featuring the humor of Steve Martin and Martin Short. It pretty much works for all audiences, I think.
The second story plays to women only, by showing their dream wedding on screen. This works well for the target audience, I'm sure, but does a disservice. Precious daughter, assisted by overly excited and adoring mother, gets Dad to put up a couple hundred thousand dollars for one or two days of celebration. Not the best message to send to the teenage girls watching this movie and dreaming of the same thing when they get engaged.

Movie Review: Cheaper at Target
Summary: 4 Stars

I love this movie. Always have. However, I found this same DVD (15th anniversary) was only $9.00 at my local Target. Seriously, shop around!!!

Summary of Father of the Bride (1991) [VHS]

In this hilarious update of the much-loved Hollywood classic, Steve Martin turns in a winning performance as George Banks, the befuddled father who has a hard time letting go of his young daughter (charming newcomer Kimberly Williams) when she unexpectedly announces her plans to wed. Tickling funnybones and touching hearts of critics and audiences alike, this entertaining treat chronicles George's hysterical trials and tribulations leading up to the big event. Diane Keaton shines as George's patient, level-headed wife, while funnyman Martin Short lights up the screen as the off-the-wall wedding consultant. FATHER OF THE BRIDE promises to love, honor, and deliver the kind of motion picture fun you'll thoroughly enjoy.

This '90s update of the Spencer Tracy-Elizabeth Taylor hit is a mix of the pleasant and the silly, a nice enough movie but a little too controlled to become particularly interesting. Steve Martin plays the aging patriarch who is threatened by his daughter's engagement and not-quite-willing to let her go. The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers provides Martin's character with a perhaps too-broad range of comic responsiveness to the situation, some of it gentle (a ritual game of basketball between dad and his little girl) and some of it slapstick (Martin sneaking around his prospective in-laws' house and encountering a guard dog). Martin Short turns up as a wedding coordinator--which has deliriously delicious possibilities--but his inventiveness doesn't quite strike the chord this time. --Tom Keogh
