Steve Martin's sweet-natured wedding weepy.May 20, 2003
The material has been successfully refurbished with new jokes and new attitudes, but the earlier film's most memorable moments have been preserved.May 11, 2012
"Father of the Bride" should bring a smile to anyone who's been in a family that's had a wedding-regardless of your point of view. But the sequel doesn't offer quite the same level of comedy and insight.January 01, 2000
[A] slight but delightfully sweet-natured new comedy starring Steve Martin.May 23, 2011
Neither the '90s nor the husband-wife team of Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer (they wrote the new version, she co-produced, he directed) can match the original film's grace or wit.March 26, 2009
Best stuff here comes strsight from Martin, such as his frenzied antics in the in-laws' house or his ridiculous Tom Jones imitation in front of a mirror in a too-tight tuxedo.May 20, 2012
The strengths of these films are not so much laughs as sincerity and heart. [Blu-ray]December 20, 2016
The film's sole dramatic preoccupations are with broad physical comedy and unrealistically offbeat characterizations; a few moments of nominal pathos are really just structural pauses in the joke series.
