- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The material has been successfully refurbished with new jokes and new attitudes, but the earlier film's most memorable moments have been preserved."
-
"Neither the '90s nor the husband-wife team of Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer can match the original film's grace or wit."
-
"A pleasing, well-crafted, surprisingly satisfying diversion"
-
"One of the nicest things about Father of the Bride is that it's not ashamed to be old-fashioned and sweet. It's also not ashamed to get sappy and drippy and gooey, but you have to take the good with the bad"
-
"The film does work, but not quite as well as the Hepburn-Tracy classic that it seeks to replace. Mildly amusing."
-
"Some sequences and dialogue are lifted directly from the original, but in the wider context, this merely serves to underline the remake's comparative lack of tenderness and subtlety."
