Il padre della sposa - Matrimonio a Miami

While it was well made and the acting was great for what they had to work with, the script was boring and not funny. I gave it to the halfway mark and it just didn't grab me. I saw the original and like 95% of remakes it doesn't hold a candle to the original. Why does Hollyweird have to take great movies and ruin them with a remake. The latin part did not bother me at all. The junk with the wedding planner and her desperate attempt at being "hip" was too annoying.

I can only guess that it all comes together at the end but the journey to get there was not worth it. Everything was fine except the script. The script ruined the whole thing. I am guessing if you are a teen to early 20s you might find this entertaining but if you watched the original you will find this bland and annoying. I would have kicked the "wedding planner" out within 5 minutes of her rambling, or whenever she said listen up boomer...She would have been the one listening as the door slammed behind her.

This is definitely a movie that might appeal to younger audiences but not really to older adults. It tries too hard to bash the old and make the new seem like it is best. What annoys me about movies where divorce of older rich couples is that the wife always talks about how she didn't ask for all the money and yet you never see her shopping at Walmart and just saving the extra. The guy wouldn't have to work so hard if the wife wasn't spending the money. And the "you'll never change" bologna is sad. Why should he change? She accepted what he was when she married him. Anyway, those movie tropes annoy me.

So first off, to be clear, this is NOT a comedy. There's very little if any humor in it at all. It's not a spoiler to say the Father & Mother of the bride are getting a divorce, as it's literally the first scene of the movie. The father proceeds to spend basically the whole rest of the movie, showing WHY they are getting said divorce. He is, put plainly, an >insert profanity here<.

He spends his screen time antagonizing his whole family. He talks down to them, he talks over them, he ignores everything they say and everything they want. He forces himself to be the center of attention, and by his own statement (multiple times) says that because he has money he gets to make all decisions. This ignores the fact that the Bride & Groom expressly state they don't even want his money, but he forces the issue. This is interspersed with solo scenes of him moping around, sad faced, lamenting the current state of his life (which he's brought on himself by his own horribleness). It's clear the writers try to include moments where you're supposed to feel some sympathy for him, but this is completely overshadowed by the fact that he is written as an absolutely unlikeable >repeat profanity here< who doesn't actually earn any sympathy.

When you've made it through 90 minutes of a 2 hour movie, and you realize that you simply don't care about anything at all that is happening in the slightest, that's a giant red flag. When you dislike a character enough that you don't care about the writers sad attempt at a redemption arc, another big red flag. This movie was a great example of both.

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.
