Ok if you haven't seen the original....bored me in the beginning and was far too sickly sweet at the end, also lacked the comedy of the original, putting an overly complicated plot in its place.
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.

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.

If you like Latin culture, Miami views and a good romantic comedy, then see this movie. Love the blend between the Cuban and Mexican influences. The movie is definitely better second half of the film. !Que disfruten!
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.
