Just As Sweet The Second Time Around

"This pleasing follow up to the 1991 hit is just as warm and fuzzy and delightful as the first. In fact, I think it may even be better. Steve Martin and everybody else from the original return as we find out that daughter(Kimberly Williams)is pregnant with child. Everybody is overjoyed. Then, the unthinkable happens. Mrs. Banks(Diane Keaton) learns that she is expecting too!. That storyline deals a lot with the ages of these characters. They are going to have their first grandchild, and, at the same time, are going to have a new child of their own. There are many funny scenes that deal with that issue. Soome of them are very poignant as well. Steve Martin is a charming class act all the way. He's teriffic. Martin Short returns as wedding coordinator Franc. He's now on board to decorate the new baby's room. The movie has that same lovely visuals like the first. The great street, lovely house. It's a nice film. The great Eugene Levy pop ups as well. This is one sweet little movie. A part 3 would be very welcome. If you don't like nice, warm, happy movies, then stay far away from this. If you just like movies, you will. Some people hate movies like this because they are nice. I think it's a sad world we live in if some people have to bash a film simply because it's a nice movie. That's pretty pathetic. This movie is a delight."
Wonderful! Delightful! Full of comedy!

"I never could wait until Thanksgiving. That's when they always showed this movie on TV, but unfortunetly they stopped doing that a few years ago. Then when I saw that Amazon.com had it I immediatley bought it!! Steve Martin and Diane Keaton make a dynamic duo on the screen. Oh..and Martin Short..He was hilarious in this movie. This one led perfectly from the first one to the second one smoothly. I hope they make a third one! If you've never seen this movie you don't know what you're missing!"
Father of the Bride Part II

"This movie is a fantastic celebration of life, love, and family. It reminds the viewer of the importance of the "simple things" that mean the most to us. Steve Martin sums up the essence of the movie when he is speaking to a doctor on behalf of his daughter and his wife. He simply states, "Doctor, these women are my life." She understands. The viewer understands. I've probably watched the film a dozen times and it never gets old. I plan to watch it at least 2 dozen more times...especially when life gets tough and I need a reminder about the "good stuff" it has to offer! Thank you!"
Great movie

"It is very rare when I say that I like a sequel even more then the first but this is one of those occasions. This movie always cheers me up whenever I feel down. Martin Short is great as is Steve Martin. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. It is funny and the story is pretty good too."
Didn't Think It Could Get Any Better!

"I remember watching "Father of the Bride" over and over again growing up...dreaming of my own wedding! It was just one of those movies that you can never really get tired of. I was excited when they made "Father of the Bride 2" , but I really didn't have high hopes for it because I thought there was no way it could compete with the first...boy was I wrong. This movie is just as great as the first. With mother and daughter having a baby at the same time and all the same great characters back from the first movie...there was never a dull moment! If you liked the first you should love this movie!"
