THIS WAS AWESOME AND SO MUCH FUN AND SO MUCH BETTER THAN 1st ONE ALTHOUGH I REALLY ENJOYED THE 1st THIS JUST FLOWED SO SMOOTHLY WITH ONE LAUGH AFTER ANOTHER AND WITH A SOLID FEEL GOOD STORY TO REEL IT ALL IN.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS
AND I PUT NUMBER 1 A
6/10 AND NUMBER 2
FOR ME WAS A 10/10
GOOD FUN, GREAT ACTING
WITH A SOLID STORY.
It starts to get a bit awkward how much Steve Martin loves his daughter and doesn't care about his son.
He's such a soppy git about her it's almost sickening, and throughout this sequel, it becomes a bit of a joke about where his male kid is.
Story continues... "Matty's staying at a friend's"
Story continues... "Matty's out for the day."
etc.
Even in the first film, it was somewhat similar. Matty asked about how to walk down the aisle, Steve Martin showed him for six seconds and then sent him to bed so he could get soppy about his daughter again.
Matty is apparently just always in the way of the story, so they shove him off out of the way at every opportunity. Everything is all about the women in his life, and Matty may as well just go f himself, honestly.
Watch it again and pay attention to where Matty is. Gives a whole new perspective.
A small step back from the original, but still a feel-good Steve Martin comedy. It is easy to turn on and enjoy, even if it is not your favorite or one you would outwardly recommend to many.
Rating: 3/5 - 75% - Worth Watching
The marital adventures continue in Father of the Bride Part II, a mediocre family comedy that has its heart in the right place but is overly formulaic. George Banks’ life is turned upside down once again when he gets the news that he’ll soon be a grandfather. Clearly lacking in creativity, this film follows the original beat for beat, and is full of clichés and stereotypes. But, Steve Martin’s charm and charisma ends up saving the film from itself. The entire original cast returns, and despite the poor writing the characters remain likable and entertaining. A disappointing and uninspired sequel, Father of the Bride Part II is mildly amusing and means well, but doesn't have the same magic as the first film.

If you like the first one, you like this as well. It´s a good continuation of the story that makes perfect sense. Probably a little less comic and more emotional than the first one which isn´t meant to be a negative.
