Father of the Bride
Love is wonderful. Until it happens to your only daughter.
Directed by Charles Shyer
Produced by Touchstone Pictures, Sandollar Productions
A warm, comedic family story about a father's struggle to accept his daughter's marriage, balancing humor with genuine affection and the bittersweet passage of time.
George Banks is an ordinary, middle-class man whose 22 year-old daughter Annie has decided to marry a man from an upper-class family, but George can't think of what life would be like without his daughter. His wife tries to make him happy for Annie, but when the wedding takes place at their home and a foreign wedding planner takes over the ceremony, he becomes slightly insane.
