Avis à la une
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.

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.

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.

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!
