Translation: “You know you are going to have to watch at least one of these sappy and predictable movies today, so here are the least bad options. Good luck.”
Father of the Bride does feature really good performances by Steve Martin and Martin Short.
One of my favorite scenes: I'll tell you what I'm doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don't need. So I am removing the superfluous buns. Yeah. And you want to know why? Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public. Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nit-wits who will pay for everything they don't need rather than make a stink. Well they're not ripping of this nitwit anymore because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need. George Banks is saying NO!
All that happened after this is bun bakeries reducing the package to 8 buns, thus cutting the amount by 33% and dropping the price by 10%.
My favorite movie with those two is The Three Amigos. I especially love when they all sing the little cowboy song.
i liked the one with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor, but not the Steve Martin version. Martin Short was hilarious, though.
