Father of the Bride

ComedyFamily

Directed by Charles Shyer

George Banks is an ordinary, middle-class man whose 22 year-old daughter Annie has decided to marry a man from an upper-class family, but George can't think of what life would be like without his daughter. His wife tries to make him happy for Annie, but when the wedding takes place at their home and a foreign wedding planner takes over the ceremony, he becomes slightly insane. From TMDB

    Don’t look up actors’ ages. I’m watching Father of the Bride from 1950. I was curious as to how old Spencer Tracy was when this movie was made. I am currently 9 years older.

    Kimberly Williams’s debut performance as Annie Banks in FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1991) was nominated for Best Breakthrough Performance at the 1992 MTV Movie Awards. Unfortunately Williams lost to Edward Furlong (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) in the category.

    This really makes me so sad j loved Diane Keaton so so so so much. I think Baby Boom is actually my favorite movie of hers. So many great roles, The Godfather, Annie Hall, Father of the Bride (parts one AND two), FIRST WIVES CLUB. We were blessed to have her 💔

    Watching Father of the Bride turned into an econ lesson for my 12 y.o. when Steve Martin says the wedding cost him more than he paid for his house 17 years prior. The wedding cost about $100k in 1991. $100k in 1974 is about $600k today. The San Marino house in the movie is worth $5-6 million today.

    Our last family movie night before Minion #2 & I head to Van tomorrow, & we have a few day together before she deserts me. Her choice of flick is Father of the Bride - which is SUCH a relief. Thank god she didn’t pick a movie about one of the great parent/child emotional transitions in life.
