Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Everybody important from the first film, including the writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, regroups for this sequel involving a pair of pregnancies. Steve Martin's patriarch has a crisis when his married daughter (Kimberly Williams) is with child, and an even bigger one when his middle-aged wife (Diane Keaton) announces that another bambino is on the way. Martin Short is more effectively used this time around (he played the wedding coordinator in the first film), and while this movie's inevitable climax has both women giving birth on the same chaotic night, the overall effect of the film is less contrived than its predecessor. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Delightful! Full of comedy! April 24, 2003

I never could wait until Thanksgiving. That's when they always showed this movie on TV, but unfortunetly they stopped doing that a few years ago. Then when I saw that Amazon.com had it I immediatley bought it!! Steve Martin and Diane Keaton make a dynamic duo on the screen. Oh..and Martin Short..He was hilarious in this movie. This one led perfectly from the first one to the second one smoothly. I hope they make a third one! If you've never seen this movie you don't know what you're missing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Father of the Bride Part II November 17, 2003

By A Customer

Format:DVD

This movie is a fantastic celebration of life, love, and family. It reminds the viewer of the importance of the "simple things" that mean the most to us. Steve Martin sums up the essence of the movie when he is speaking to a doctor on behalf of his daughter and his wife. He simply states, "Doctor, these women are my life." She understands. The viewer understands. I've probably watched the film a dozen times and it never gets old. I plan to watch it at least 2 dozen more times...especially when life gets tough and I need a reminder about the "good stuff" it has to offer! Thank you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just As Sweet The Second Time Around October 16, 2001

By Barry

Format:VHS Tape

This pleasing follow up to the 1991 hit is just as warm and fuzzy and delightful as the first. In fact, I think it may even be better. Steve Martin and everybody else from the original return as we find out that daughter(Kimberly Williams)is pregnant with child. Everybody is overjoyed. Then, the unthinkable happens. Mrs. Banks(Diane Keaton) learns that she is expecting too!. That storyline deals a lot with the ages of these characters. They are going to have their first grandchild, and, at the same time, are going to have a new child of their own. There are many funny scenes that deal with that issue. Soome of them are very poignant as well. Steve Martin is a charming class act all the way. He's teriffic. Martin Short returns as wedding coordinator Franc. He's now on board to decorate the new baby's room. The movie has that same lovely visuals like the first. The great street, lovely house. It's a nice film. The great Eugene Levy pop ups as well. This is one sweet little movie. A part 3 would be very welcome. If you don't like nice, warm, happy movies, then stay far away from this. If you just like movies, you will. Some people hate movies like this because they are nice. I think it's a sad world we live in if some people have to bash a film simply because it's a nice movie. That's pretty pathetic. This movie is a delight.

It is very rare when I say that I like a sequel even more then the first but this is one of those occasions. This movie always cheers me up whenever I feel down. Martin Short is great as is Steve Martin. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. It is funny and the story is pretty good too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grandfather George June 1, 2011

By W. Easley TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Father of the Bride 2 is a perfect cure for the doldrums. My wife and I had never seen this movie. One evening after a particularly tough day, she saw this DVD on our shelves and suggested that we watch it. She hit play and the night changed. After several hours (we always get interrupted with pseudo emergencies when watching a movie) we slowly felt the tension leave and laughter began to replace the gloom.

Father of the Bride 2 stars Steve Martin as George Banks. George has recovered from the nerve racking experience of hosting a wedding for his daughter Anne (Kimberly Williams), and is finally ready to get on with his life. Suddenly Anne announces that she is having a baby and George immediately has a mid life crisis.
George rejects the concept of being a grandfather, spurns his age. He tries to gain control of his life by planning to move to the seashore, and remaking his personal appearance. George's mid life crisis is hilarious, his actions are exaggerated, almost childish but very funny.

Then his wife Nina (Diane Keaton) announces she is pregnant and the fun really begins. George becomes unglued, Nina resents his attitude, and George discovers that his crisis is self inflicted.

This is a very fun filled movie. Steve Martin is at his best. Both Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams are brilliant in their roles as the wife and daughter. As a generous addition, Martin Short plays a huge roll as planner of baby showers, interior decorator who remodels houses, and a zany supporter for George.

I highly recommend this film for anyone wanting a funny enjoyable evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great June 10, 2007

By Junio

Format:DVD

This is one of the best sequels I have ever seen. It is funny and at the same time very sweet and touching. Steve Martin is great as the unwilling soon-to-be-father/grandfather. The rest of the cast is as good as they were in the first part. Definitely worth a watch by all daughters who have a very loving and protective father!

5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't Think It Could Get Any Better! September 13, 2006

By A. Hewitt

Format:DVD

I remember watching "Father of the Bride" over and over again growing up...dreaming of my own wedding! It was just one of those movies that you can never really get tired of. I was excited when they made "Father of the Bride 2" , but I really didn't have high hopes for it because I thought there was no way it could compete with the first...boy was I wrong. This movie is just as great as the first. With mother and daughter having a baby at the same time and all the same great characters back from the first movie...there was never a dull moment! If you liked the first you should love this movie!
