Der Vater der Braut

I see all the mostly negative reviews of this movie and I'm actually surprised I know it's been done before but so have a lot of themes Andy Garcia can take anything and make it good Gloria Estefan is very good in her role and it's just a pleasant time to be had by all it's like nothing to pre ponder or post ponder but it makes some points and it was fun!!!

Don't know why people are so mad about this movie. I enjoyed it. It was perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I'm from Finland and have very little knowledge about Cuban or Mexican culture, but I found the movie entertaining and funny.

I know it's a remake, but who cares. I've probably seen the original on tv in the 90's, but can't really remember anymore.

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have watched it if not for Andy Garcia. I've always liked him. Good thing I watched it though. Andy should do more movies.

The biggest problem with remakes is the lack of originality in changing changing the title and seeing if anyone noticed the story they borrowed from.

This Andy Garcia lead movie is unique enough from the original and Steve Martin remakes to make the case of changing the title to something more original.

I'm a big Andy Garcia, he's always superb. This is the second time I've seen this great actor have you work with an incompetent lead actress, Sophia Coppola being the first, and now Gloria Estefan. The lack of chemistry between him and Estefan is not his fault- she did not seem to connect to the character in general.

Had this movies had an original title, it would probably have had better reviews, but also would not be the money maker it will be because it's associated with Father Of The Bride. Divorced from the title, it works pretty well on its own as a fun and lite comedy/drama.

Take a beloved movie - force fit, gender swaps, nationality and sexuality to appear inclusive. And at the end of the day - for the political cash grab using nostalgia to gain money.

Literally the Covid - short reunion clip - of the original cast as if their characters had continued was much more entertaining that this.

Add this to the list: Ocean 8 Ghostbusters 2018 Home Sweat Home Alone Etc.

Miss the days movies were made with original ideas, heart and soul.

Look I have great respect for father character, but talk about wrong casting and wrong direction. This remake forgot what made the first and the remake such a good movie. It was the father of bride. The way the daughter acted you would think you want the father to leave the house. This movie lacked emotions, fun, and creativity. Yes it's a remake and everybody know what is going to happen and the original was the best the remake was great because of one guy Steve Martin the third round it lacked everything that made he first two so great. To bad it could have been great but just because you have a great location and you spend money it does not mean that the character of the movie would be good. To bad.

Watch the original, watch the first remake skip this thing called a bad movie.
