DESCRIPTION
A befuddled father has a hard time letting go of his young daughter as she plans her wedding. Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG Release Date: 7-JUN-2005 Media Type: DVD
This '90s update of the Spencer Tracy-Elizabeth Taylor hit is a mix of the pleasant and the silly, a nice enough movie but a little too controlled to become particularly interesting. Steve Martin plays the aging patriarch who is threatened by his daughter's engagement and not-quite-willing to let her go. The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers provides Martin's character with a perhaps too-broad range of comic responsiveness to the situation, some of it gentle a ritual game of basketball between dad and his little girl and some of it slapstick Martin sneaking around his prospective in-laws' house and encountering a guard dog. Martin Short turns up as a wedding coordinator--which has deliriously delicious possibilities--but his inventiveness doesn't quite strike the chord this time. --Tom Keogh
