    A nice, heart-warming family comedy.

    Daughter returns from Italy, announces marriage, Father not happy, preparations, farce & hullabaloo!! Steve Martin is perfect as George Banks in this well written yet predictable comedy farce. Good support from Diane Keaton & a tremendously over the top Martin Short as the wedding planner. A mention too for his assistant who is remarkably like Gok Wan, a good while before the real one showed up.

    Not really funny at all and the story was not as "heart warming" as has been said. But it was watchable to so it's my rating of 6...................................................................

    It's one of the movies with a lot of smiles and laughter in it, and a good feeling all the way through. Just everyday life, warmly observed.
  2. The screenplay represents recycling at its best. The material has been successfully refurbished with new jokes and new attitudes, but the earlier film's most memorable moments have been preserved.

    The movie, as a whole, isn't nearly so original. Still, it's a pleasing, well-crafted, surprisingly satisfying diversion. It's eager to entertain and has a quality that's genuinely rare these days, a spirit of gentle modesty.
