SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

daniele-iannarelli I feel a 10/10 rating has to be carefully judged before awarding. Thus I am all too careful in awarding such a high score. However, I didn't really have to think about this... this movie easily deserves 10/10.In this day and age when so-called 'comedy' movies are simply full of just daft, witless, senseless, sometimes toilet, 'humour', film-makers would do well to look at the likes of Vincente Minelli's "Father Of The Bride" (1950) for inspiration on good quality film-making.The difference with the likes of this three-Oscar-nominated 'masterpiece' is that it is not comedy in the sense of daft circumstances, silly jokes etc... it reflects - basically - the comedy that we experience in everyday life. In fact, I'd go so far as to call this a 'light-hearted drama' if anything.Tracy is his brilliant self. His 'comedy acting' is actually an extension of the excellent script, his position as an unfortunate victim of circumstances (he conveys the weight of the world as being on his shoulders), the direction and a reflection on what we as objective viewers relate with our own lives. This is what 'comedy-drama' / comedy-acting' is all about... NOT playing for laughs as seems to be the common methodology these days.It is interesting that in a recent episode of the UK's fast-deteriorating soap "Coronation Street", the scriptwriter actually plagiarised some lines from the 1950 "Father Of The Bride". Reference was made (I paraphrase) to "I hope it's not the guy with the teeth"... and more. It was so badly misplaced and - to me - noticing it immediately, it was straight (and paraphrased) from the movie. I suppose that considering copying is the best form of flattery, it's perhaps a testament to Goodrich, Hackett and Streeter (the writers, the latter being the novelist).I won't waste my time going any farther than just mentioning the Steve Martin 'remake', which is nothing but the usual modern rubbish attempting to match a classic original but, I suppose, again 'mimicry is the best form of flattery'.Supporting roles are played excellently all round... particularly a young and very beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, the gorgeous Joan Bennett, Don Taylor ('the boy with the shoulders'), Billie Burke and more.The style is of the main protagonist (Tracy as lawyer Stanley T. Banks) narrating the story of the lead up to his only daughter ("I know a father's not supposed to have a favourite, but with Kay...") getting married. It's actually a very interesting insight to the turmoil that can befall a tight-knit middle-class family under such circumstances.I'd suggest also having a look at the sequel to the original: "Father's Little Dividend" (1951). Although not nearly as good, it's still very enjoyable and worth watching.

Hitchcoc I will express my prejudices here. I've always felt that people who expect outrageously expensive wedding should pay for them themselves. Instead of seeing the comedy here, I felt sorry for Tracy's character, who gains nothing from this and practically loses everything. Still, it has witty exchanges by all participants, some good supporting characters, lots of action,and a frantic pace that made even me tired. I will put my prejudices aside because I recognize this as a fiction and we all enjoy a good disaster film. Elizabeth Taylor is really stunning as the bride, and that helps. Her dark beauty dominates the screen.

NutzieFagin Father of the Bride is a classic tale of what one might suffer when planning a family wedding. And people who have planned their weddings or been in one can cherry pick many comic foils that you may see in this film.The story is about just that. .A simple tale which happens in about every family. Proud papa, Stanley Banks (Spencer Tracey) is now faced with the upcoming preparations of his daughter, Kaye's (Liz Taylor) wedding. It is Murphy's Law running downhill from then on. Expenses keep mounting, families fight over the trivial matters of Wedding dates, reception costs and mounting invitation lists. And from a hot mess, we create the perfect beautiful wedding. Liz Taylor always looked stunning as a bride and you will not be disappointed.A lot of people prefer the remake starring Steve Martin because this event is set in 1950, But it is a classic to be enjoyed because everything that is "old" never changes. So enjoy the show and hope you are the one to catch the bouquet.

kenjha After his daughter selects a mate, the father must endure sleepless nights, sticker shock, and the disruption of his household as he navigates through the nightmare of wedding planning. Tracy is terrific as the harried father whose plans for a small wedding go awry. As his wife and daughter, Bennett and Liz Taylor aren't given much to do except look supportive and lovely, respectively. Interestingly, both actresses played Amy in film versions of "Little Women," Bennett in 1933 and Taylor in 1949. Don Taylor, who plays the groom, would have a long career as a TV director. Minnelli does a nice job of balancing the comedy and the sentimentality.
