Just when George Banks (Steve Martin) has gotten used to his daughter, Annie (Kimberly Williams), being married, she announces that she's pregnant, making him an impending grandfather. Shaken by nearing this new milestone in his life, George soon has to process even more surprising news -- his wife, Nina (Diane Keaton), is pregnant too. Reeling from these revelations, George gets help from the eccentric Franck (Martin Short), who, conveniently, has moved from planning weddings to baby showers.

Martin, Keaton and cinematographer William A. Fraker put this retro fluff over better than expected early on, but hour 2 is only for those who don't want their equilibriums rattled by surprises.

Anyone looking forward to a second dose of the first film's frothy bittersweet fun can forget it. This is frighteningly bad.

I have been looking for a while a sequel that has everything a sequel should have: maintaining the uniqueness of the original and adding new elements that harmonize it, keeping it fresh. Making you feel you are at home while you see sonething new. Ladies and gentlemen: Father of the Bride II is the perfect sequel. The shots are very well thought out, everyone well placed. It provokes a few laughs. It reinforces the message of the original: just let go. I was really touched by the last shot because something similar happened to me recently. The synopsis is great. Martin Short is much funnier (and more bearable) in this one. Kieran Culkin is the MVP and Steve Martin fliring is inmediatly iconic. It's a bit boring at times and a bit slow, but it's twice as good as the previous one, and for that alone it deserves more recognition.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The predictability of this instalment takes some of the shine away from it. It's more of the same scripting, performances, and comedy, just with pregnancies instead of a wedding. Enjoyable enough, but I definitely prefer the first

Minha opinião: Um elenco de peso na aréa da comedia. Mas nem sempre quantidade significa qualidade. Um filme morno sem nada de especial, custa a dar risada. A estoria agora é arespeito de futuro da vida de sua e genro, que querem se mudar e depois o aparecimento da gestação, indejada no momento de seu apce na carreira. Aqui como sempre Steve quer se entrometer na vida do casal, mas agora Diane também engravida. Bem esta é a receita da salada que deveria se tornar uma grande comedia. Pois temos ainda Eugene (American Pie) e Wong (Jurassic park). Roteiro e enredo tudo morno. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra alternativa Nota: 4
