I hiss I never saw Steve Martin replacing Spencer Tracey or Kimberly Williams replacing Elizabeth Taylor. The unusual film directed by Vincente Minnelli had charm and a number of wonderful sequences in it but Charles Shyer’s film nicely updates the modern film with some gut busting laughs for the ironic age. Shyer’s films have a number of nice touches and references to other films including Martin commenting (as Banks) that he doesn’t want to be bankrupt by the wedding and have to trudge the streets in a bathrobe (a reference to Carl Reiner’s film “The Jerk” starring Martin) : Bank’s character is named after George Banks (David Tomlinson) from the Disney classic “Mary Poppins”; the Bank’s character’s middle name of Stanley is borrowed from the father in the Spencer Tracey modern and loads of other references to classic Hollywood films. This is the third turn for “Father of the Bride” (it was also a short lived TV series in 1960) and it’s quiet exquisite although this 15th Anniversary Edition is a year premature (the film came out in 1991) .

George Banks’ (Steve Martin) minute girl Annie (Kimberly Williams) is getting married. All of the mayhem that you can imagine in a Steve Martin PG comedy ensues. Kimberly is marrying her college sweetheart Bryan (George Newbern) . Banks doesn’t have a spot with the conception of his daughter getting married but he does have an express with his miniature growing up because, well, it means he’s getting conventional, too. With savory laughable turns by Martin Short (as the wedding coordinator) and Diane Keaton, “Father of the Bride” unlike most remakes manages to update the material and fabricate it work for a current audience without betraying the emotional core that drove the comedy in the new film.
This version of “Bride” gets the deluxe treatment i the 15th Anniversary Edition. I don’t know honestly if all of these featurettes and the commentary track were on the 2003 edition. I’d suspect they were and this is fair a re-release in novel packaging. The previous edition released two years ago was a nice anamorphic transfer. The enchanting image quality and considerable clarity evident here is a exiguous improvement over the new DVD release (although the previous version looked radiant darn safe, too) . It appears that the same transfer was former for this version and the film was tweaked a bit for the latest release. The 5.1 soundtrack

I seem to rob the extras here being the same as on the previous edition but that could objective be wicked memory on my piece. Either scheme, “Martin & Short Interview Each Other” is an funny 5 miniature, bizarre tongue-in-cheek featurette where they skewer each other, the roles they play and everything else in eye. At one point Short talks about how playing a woman liberated him in this film. He plays a man. We also glean an 11 exiguous standard “Making of” featurette on the film with some laughable behind-the-scenes takes on the film.
Director Charles Shyer’s commentary track is both informative and comical. Shyer discusses the challenges of directing a remake of a classic film. He notes that it’s a lovely line bringing a contemporary tone to the film but not playing with it or improving it into “a failure”. It’s particularly attractive to trace that Shyer and Meyers both have a high regard for the novel film. Hence, the things that worked well in the modern (such as the opening monologue) are fair updated (and, according to Shyer it took 35 takes to shoot the opening because of a number of technical issues that kept occurring) . It’s a pity we don’t have Martin’s comments or, for that matter, other cast members since Shyer recorded the commentary track 13 years after the film’s fresh release (and he hadn’t seen it since he finished working on it in 1991) .
You’re invited to a very comic wedding featuring comical men Steve Martin and Martin Short with able assist from amusing woman Diane Keaton. A toothsome update of the 1950’s classic, “Father of the Bride” has a number of moments that ring apt for me from my experience with my sister. If you have the previous edition of the movie I don’t know that I can recommend upgrading but if you haven’t purchased until now, Buena Vista Home Video has priced this to depart.
George Banks (Steve Martin) has impartial heard the words every father dreads. His daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has unprejudiced announced that she’s getting married to Bryan (George Newbern), a man she met while studying in Europe. While George’s wife Nina (Diane Keaton) is thrilled by the news, George doesn’t handle it well. After all, this means vast changes happening in his life. And he doesn’t cope well with change.
So, naturally, he handles this the diagram any dad would. He starts watching “America’s Most Wanted” in case Bryan is on it. And when it comes to planning the wedding, his understanding is cheap and informal, mighty to the women’s fright. Will he ever salvage with the program? And if he does, will he survive the large day?
This movie isn’t a laugh until it hurts comedy. There are plenty of laugh out loud parts, but the humor is often subtler. While some of George’s antics are definitely over the top and border on embarrassing, the movie manages to accumulate the balance between embarrassment and humor. And the ending it truly touching.
And I can’t say enough about the acting. Everyone is believable. In fact, what makes the movie work is the fact that every one of the characters and actors seems absolutely accurate. The exception, of course, are Franck and Howard, the over the top wedding coordinators played by Martin Short and B. D. Wong who absolutely purchase every scene they are in.
Whether you’ve gone through a wedding or not, this movie will execute you laugh and touch you. And what more could you want from a wedding, and movie, then that?
