Okay, in parts. Sometimes even amusing. Martin and Keaton are mostly good, but Short is just annoying as is most of the rest of the cast.

It moves at a nice enough pace and Steve Martin is likable, even tho' I'm childless I could relate to his emotions about his little girl growing up, so it's passes the time. But it's just neither funny nor moving, just absolutely meh

This film probably deserves more than what I've rated it, but it's just so lousy with internal monologues. If I wanted to hear an internal monologue every 30 seconds, I'd stop taking my medication.

Father of the Bride is a heartwarming family film in which Steve Martin takes a step back from his antics to play a more "real" character. Martin is terrific as the inner-monologue using dad who just wants his daughter's wedding to be perfect, even at his expense. With every scene, there is great humor and a true connection between actors. It actually seems like a family, and that's impressive. Really good!

This is a film for parents. Not to say others might not find things to enjoy about it, but it’s painfully clear who this film is gunning for with Martin’s overprotective yet likeable character. And there are no thorns on this wedding rose; it’s more amusing than funny, it’s inoffensive (except maybe Short’s weird choices?), and it wants to go down easy like a slice of cake. Are these similes doing it for ya??? Huh??? I’ll forget this movie in a week!

With only mild morsels of safe humour (Martin's conservative and protective Dad bit can only go so far, and Short's flamboyant addition gets tiring), cute but never captivating sentimentality (the "letting go" theme is sweet but predictable and bland), and hardly any lasting drama (conflicts are resolved without too much work), there's not a lot that sticks here. Martin's narration, meanwhile, is charming, but too straight-forward to help spark a screenplay in need of something more striking.
