Expect crowd-pleasing entertainment when Steve Martin (PARENTHOOD), Diane Keaton (LOOK WHO'S TALKING NOW), and Martin Short (CAPTAIN RON) return in this hilarious sequel to the comedy smash FATHER OF THE BRIDE. Having just married off his cherished daughter (Kimberly Williams -- FATHER OF THE BRIDE), George Banks (Martin) is ready to get footloose and fancy free! So when his daughter and his wife Nina (Keaton) both announce they are pregnant, George finds himself in one outrageous situation after another, desperately trying to recapture the wild and crazy days of his youth! You'll love every star-filled minute of FATHER OF THE BRIDE, PART II -- the riotous comedy hit that delivers double the fun and twice the laughs!
Everybody important from the first film, including the writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, regroups for this sequel involving a pair of pregnancies. Steve Martin's patriarch has a crisis when his married daughter (Kimberly Williams) is with child, and an even bigger one when his middle-aged wife (Diane Keaton) announces that another bambino is on the way. Martin Short is more effectively used this time around (he played the wedding coordinator in the first film), and while this movie's inevitable climax has both women giving birth on the same chaotic night, the overall effect of the film is less contrived than its predecessor. --Tom Keogh
Father of the Bride 2Reviewed by Arnita D. Brown, 2010-02-22
In this movie sequel to "Father of the Bride", George Banks must
accept the reality of what his daughter's ascension from daughter
to wife, and now, to mother means when placed into perspective
against his own stage of life. As the comfortable family unit
starts to unravel in his mind, a rapid progression into mid-life
crisis is in his future. His journey to regain his youth acts as a
catalyst for a kind of rebirth of his attitude on life when he and
his wife, Nina, find how their lives are about to change as well.
This movie is a very warm and funny family movie. I enjoyed every
minute of it because it was very real. Some may disagree but there
are a lot of people who may of had this type of situation. I loved
that Martin Short was in the sequel because I love his comedy and
he made the movie very funny. This is a great family movie you will
enjoy and watch together with your family or friends.
Filled with laughs, innocence, and fun!Reviewed by C. Dicocco, 2009-12-21
I love this movie, it's definitely one of Steve Martin's best and filled with lots of comedy. The trip to the hospital when mom and daughter are about to deliver is hysterical. Lots of heartwarming moments throughout the film too. Was so happy that Martin Short (Franc) and his assistant returned for Part II. When they are in the hallway of the hospital once Nina finds out that she is expecting it is very funny! I have watched parts I and II several times and am very happy that they are part of my dvd collection. They truly don't make too many films of this genre anymore, unfortunately. The cast is terrific and it's just a great movie to share with the whole family, even grandparents! No unexpected suprises or bad language. Would highly recommend!

Father of the Bride 2Reviewed by T. Duckworth, 2009-10-16
Absolutely one of my all-time favorites... Everything, nearly every line in this movie is priceless -- charming, charming, charming... This is a real feel good flick... On the occasion I am feeling a bit down, I watch this and can't help but feel smiley again... I rarely actually purchase movies, yet, this is one I always have to have on-hand... :o)
Father of the Bride Part II is also a classic.Reviewed by Paul B. Sheffield, 2009-10-05
Classic movies have unlimited appeal. This dvd should sit beside the many classics in everyone's collection.
