Rewind Wednesday: Father's Day Edition

With Father's Day coming around the corner, I figure why not pay tribute to the men in our lives who have played an essential part in our growth as young women and men of today. And why not showcase a great film with a tribute to all the father's out there. Father of the Bride, was the first thing that popped into my head for a couple of reasons of course the obvious 'father's day" and the fact that this is wedding season and there are a lot of father's who are walking their daughters down the aisle.

George Banks (Steve Martin) is an upper-middle-class owner of an athletic shoe company in San Marino, California, whose 22-year-old daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has decided to marry a man (George Newbern) from an upper-class family from Bel-Air, despite knowing each other only three months. George can't think of what life would be like without his daughter and becomes slightly insane (especially when he finds out the wedding will cost over $100,000), although his wife (Diane Keaton) tries to make him happy for Annie. When the wedding takes place at their home, along with a foreign wedding planner named Franck (Martin Short) taking over the ceremony, George tries to handle the fact that his daughter has grown up and has a life of her own.

This hilarious 1991 comedy movie is about the relationship of an over-possessive father who just can't seem to let his daughter go when she decides to get married. A light-hearted entertainer, this amazing movie explores different issues that is associated with parenthood, family interaction, marriage etc. The movie manages successfully to capture the thoughts of a worried father.

All in all this is a heart warming film that will make you laugh and cry all at the same!!

Here is a clip to get the laughter going:
