Father of the Bride Part II Reviews
Martin Short is fabulous in this!
It took me ages watching certain movies to realise where I actually knew Martin Short from. Of course he's Franck, and he will have you in tears with the kinda stuff he comes out with! Some classics that you can just barely understand with such an accent are:
Franck: Father of the bride and a baby? GET OUT OF TOWN.
Franck: What planet? The planet of not wanting to die by a drive by shooting.
I had to virtually wrestle this back into my DVD case and out of my mum's hands. She loves both of these films, and complained a lot about me not having the first one on DVD yet. Is it my fault that the DVD store in Edinburgh as the second one for £6.99, and the first for lots dearer?! Grrrr, I'll get it eventually, although no doubt this DVD and Cheaper By The Dozen will go missing at points, or be put back in the wrong place by my mother! She'd better keep her hands off.
I love this movie too, but the grand finale is much better done in Nine Months, with Robin Williams as the Russian Doctor. Speaking of Robin Williams, how much does Steve Martin look like his when he dyes his hair brown?! They're practically twins!
Most of this film is predictable, as is its predecessor, but Martin Short shines, and you get almost teary when he helps out with Nina & Annie giving birth. He's fabulous in these movies, and the accent has to be heard to be believed! You will be crying with tears over the accent.
There's no extras on this DVD, not even a trailer - sacriledge!
This is a great movie to add to your collection, and believe me, Franck's character is definitely brilliant! It's a fun movie, but have some sympathy for me, trying to keep it away from my mum!
Similar Formula to Original With Some Success
Father of the Bride was a classic comedy. So one knew that a sequel had to be on the way. The original cast of Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, and Martin Short are back and in fine form.
Whereas there are some comical moments, it just seems like the pacing of the film is oh so identical to the original. Just as Mrs Banks announces her pregancy, Franc is on the scene to plan another baby shower. And a double one at that to honor Kimberly William's character. The scenes just become to off the wall an the repetitive false alarms add very little to the story.
Nonetheless, Steve Martin and Martin Short are very entertaining. The wrecking ball scene with Mr. Habib is priceless. Not quite the original but Father of the Bride 2 certainly rates as amusing.
