Everybody important from the first film, including the writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, regroups for this sequel involving a pair of pregnancies. Steve Martin's patriarch has ...( read more  read more... )a crisis when his married daughter (Kimberly Williams) is with child, and an even bigger one when his middle-aged wife (Diane Keaton) announces that another bambino is on the way. Martin Short is more effectively used this time around (he played the wedding coordinator in the first film), and while this movie's inevitable climax has both women giving birth on the same chaotic night, the overall effect of the film is less contrived than its predecessor. --Tom Keogh

    Read my review of Father of the Bride Part I again.

    "Going to the movies will be economical: one child and two seniors!"


    Steve Martin and Diane Keaton play George and Nina Banks. Their daughter got married in the first installment, and in this edition, their daughter announces that she's pregnant. Soon enough, Nina finds tha...( read more)t she's pregnant as well, which opens up the movie for many scenes of Martin looking stressed out. The fact that their house is about to go on sale creates the opportunity for the film's writers to tack on many thin, weak issues for both George and Nina, who now feel sad about leaving their memories behind. Much like the original, the film depends on his dry sarcasm and brilliant physicality to make the most of the circumstances this regular dad finds himself in. The film goes more than a little overboard towards the end, but Martin reigns in both the humor and the potential crises, making the craziness seem believable and heartfelt.

    This is a solid sequel to the original Father of the Bride. This time we have Steve Martin dealing with his pregnant wife and daughter. The story is solid and entertaining. Nice to have the cast from the original film all back for this one. Full of funny moments. Steve Martin is...( read more) his usual funny self in this film. Just as good as the original. So if you liked the original then check this sequel out.
