Father of the Bride
Father of the Bride is a 1991 American romantic comedy film starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams (in her film debut), Kieran Culkin, and Martin Short. It is a remake of the 1950 film of the same name. Martin portrays George Banks, a businessman who becomes flustered while he and his family prepare for his daughter's marriage.
Plot
The film begins with George Banks sitting in his house right after the wedding reception of his 22-year-old daughter, Annie. George then narrates the events that lead up to Annie’s wedding. George lives in San Marino, California, with his wife, Nina, and their much younger son, Matty, and is the owner of a successful athletic shoe company called Side Kicks. Annie, freshly graduated from college, returns home after travelling around Europe. She announces that she is engaged to Bryan MacKenzie, despite them only having known each other for three months. The sudden shock turns the warm reunion into a heated argument between her and George, but they quickly reconcile in time for Bryan to arrive and meet them. Despite his good financial status and likable demeanor, George takes an immediate dislike to him, while Nina accepts him as a potential son-in-law. George does not want to let go of Annie.
