Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish) (2020) is a Netflix special for a charity during the COVID-19 Pandemic and I had a lot of fun with this special.

Positives for Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish) (2020): It was fun watching the original cast of the 1991 remake interact with each other again even if it's a Zoom Call. I really enjoyed the additions of Alexandra Shipp, Florence Pugh, Ben Platt and Robert De Niro as they added a lot to this Netflix Special. And finally, this special achieved its goal of having fun with the Zoom Call.

Negatives for Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish) (2020): This Netflix Special doesn't do anything to reinvent the Father of the Bride franchise and that's okay. I can also see fans of the remake will be disappointed with the special because they would like to see a third movie.

Overall, Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish) (2020) gets the job done and I'm happy about that.

I loved this and it was just what we need in these troubled times. The chemistry was there between everyone, just like they had never been apart. It really felt like we were looking at a real family. It was so heart warming. Thank you, Netflix, for making this happen.

The folks who play George MacKenzie, Megan Banks, Rachel and James were phenomenal first off. Seeing George, Nina, Annie, Bryan, Matty and Franck again felt nostalgic. I wondered why it wasn't touched upon with Annie and Bryan having more kids, but no big deal. The personalities are the same and everyone still looks just the same. I for one, would love to see more actual movies with this amazing cast!

As a fan of the first two films, this quick flick is a POSITIVE breath of fresh air that most people need right now. This fun, fast script exudes happiness and captures the love the Banks family is famous for. Everyone is all grown up (literally) and pulled off a storyline (virtually) that somehow managed to pull at the heartstrings. The new characters, including Robert DeNiro are authentically fantastic and likable. I applaud the entire cast and crew for pulling something like this together for charity. What an amazing (and surprising) random act of kindness! Much gratitude to all...Ten stars and beyond!

First the positives - good to see the cast back together. And new additions were great (apart from Deniro). It's been a long time. And, yes, it was just a quickie Flic done to support a charity .... fantastic. And we really appreciate the restrictions and mammoth difficulty in shooting during covid19. Well done to push out anything at this point. But.... It just seemed to be a waste of a great plot for what could have been a much better movie. Matty getting married could have been a superb. George at his eccentric best as NOT the father of the bride. Frank doing his best Frank. More depth, more story. Like 2020 has been a disappointment to put it mildly. And the casting of Robert Deniro was not good. He seemed bored. And he's already part of the "Meet the parents" franchise, so a weird addition. An actor like Samuel L. Jackson would be superb. Aim higher next time.

We need a full length father of the bride 3 please!

Sure, I would love to have had a two hour movie with all of my favorites from the 1st and 2nd film... It's the middle of covid and I'm thankful and so happy that they made it the way they did! Great Job! Thanks for caring enough to try and make the day of all of us lovers of this movie Franchise! I've loved these films for the beginning... I know them line after line! I just wish I could own my own copy! Seeing everyone after all this time just made it more special!

Thanks again all of you!

Ps... Just wish that Marta the Housekeeper (a friend of mines mom) was still here to have been in it...

I think most of us would have loved a full-length feature, but I forgive it being what it is, given the circumstances. MANY actors came together in this way to keep us entertained in a very dark time, usually for charity. I really appreciate that they did that.

It's 2024 now, and I watch this looking back on the pandemic. The jokes are nostalgic and ring true. Many of us had multi-generational Zoom meetings in 2020, and a lot of what they said regarding the pandemic are very true. In my family, my dad and stepmom were constantly checking to make sure my siblings and I were set with supplies. We did talk over each other trying to explain how Zoom worked to certain family members. We did celebrate events via Zoom. My son graduated in 2020, and my brother got married, and our whole family phoned in both events. I'm forever grateful for that.

As far as the story goes, the characters are a family again, and that's what it's about. They played family in the 90s, and there's a definite familial vibe in this special feature. It was great to see "Matty" grown up and having his own story.

It's important to remember that the purpose of this was to connect with familiar characters and raise money. Cinematography shouldn't be considered. The script is good, and the family vibe in 2020 is spot-on.

This is possibly the worst movie ever. Everything about this movie sucks. It's like one big advertisement for washing powder: before and after but with reverse effects. Complete miscasting of DeNiro and the others are not much better, with their eyes open like a bunch of Evil Dead-zombies altogether saying "join us". Once again the West has proven itself to be cultishly unreal. Boo! Bad Nancy Meyers! Bad!

I know this is for a good cause but this made me wish the vaccines actually did kill me so I wouldn't have stumbled onto this catastrophe. Robert DiNiro was the only highlight for me, not because he was good but because he represented how I felt while watching this abomination, half asleep, apathetic to the "movie" and confused as to why they were doing it in the first place. The most interesting part of the movie was the script to succession that Kiran Culkin was reading offscreen. One other positive is that this movie sucked so many noodles, Netflix moved it to youtube which I can watch at 2x speed. Every single person in this is better in everything else they're in, except Ben Platt, he can suck an egg.
