Father's Little Dividend Reviews
Cute Sequel
Most of the original cast of "Father of the Bride" (1950) returns for this cute sequel. Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett play the parents of Elizabeth Taylor, who married in the prior movie and is now expecting a child. Bennett reacts with excitement and is prepared for her daughter to move back home so that she can help raise the child. Tracy, on the other hand, is horrified at the prospect of being a grandfather and has a mid-life crisis of sorts. The movie did almost as well as the original, finishing as the #11 money-maker of 1951.
With Vincente Minnelli at the helm, you know that the movie can't be bad. It's cute and the cast is fine. In addition, at just 82 minutes in length, the movie really flies by quickly; however, it's just too insubstantial and predictable. I smiled a few times but never really laughed. Accordingly, whereas "Father of the Bride" was nominated for a boatload of Oscars, including Best Picture, "Father's Little Dividend" was shut out of the nominations. Overall, "Father's Little Dividend" is a mildly amusing and likeable romp but probably not a must-have for your collection.
Poor Quality Media
Very disappointed. While one of my favorite movies, it was almost
unwatchable due to the poor audio and video. It was almost as if it were a tenth generation copy from a poor original. I will not buy anything else produced by this company.
