Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Martin Short, and kimberly Williams Paisley return in Father of the Bride Part 2. The film as a sequel was slightly disappointing, but on the whole, likeable. George and Nina Banks are in for the surprise of their lives when they find themselves middleaged and expecting their third child. The timing is impeccable as Annie Banks-MAckenzie also realizes that she is expecting. Thus Steve MArtin embarks on a nine month journey that will consist of him building a new room for the baby, watching his daughter become a woman and overdosing on sleeping pills. Honestly, the film made me laugh hysterically and i shed a few tears at the bittersweet ending.

3 and 1/2 stars out of five.

I first viewed this film when I was about ten years old or so. I instantly fell in love with it and added it to my collection a few days later. This heart warming film tells the tale of a dad struggling to cope with his daughter's impending marriage to a man he's just met. Played by Steve Martin, George Banks delivers a praise worthy comedic performance as he falls into the in laws pool and meets with the wedding planner, Frank, played by the ever inspiring Martin Short. Father of the Bride welcomes newcomer Kimberley Williams to the screen. She gives a decent performance as an ordinary girl in love. There is nothing spectacular about her acting or even her character for that matter. Fans will be pleased to know that she stars in an ABC family original movie entitled "Lucky Seven", in which her character is much more complex. This film as a whole is belly busting hilarious yet never loses the touching effect it was designed to create. A favorite among families and heartbroken women alike, Father of the Bride is a film to be treasured.
