El padre de la novia

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!

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!!!

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.

I know this is a remake but I have never seen any Father of the Bride movies so I watched this one with a total open mind, and I like it. First of all there's Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan what is not to like about those two.

The story is about a very successful Cuban-American couple, Billy Herrera and his wife Ingrid living in Miami. They are getting a divorce, but when their daughter surprises them with her marriage plans, they decide to keep it secret until after her marriage.

With only a month to prepare, Billy is not ready to give his daughter away to a man he just met. Having to deal with a rushed wedding and a future son-in-law and his extravagant wealthy father who insist on a massive extravagant wedding for his son, pushes the Father of the Bride to the very edge ...and then a hurricane hits Miami the day before the wedding day.

The movie is very enjoyable, has a lot of funny moments and a really good cast... Andy Garcia is a Awesome Father of the Bride.
