Vater der Braut (1991)

Vater der Braut: Directed by Charles Shyer. With Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Kieran Culkin. With his oldest daughter’s wedding approaching, a father finds himself reluctant to let go.

“I really want to enjoy this movie. Itu0026#39;s cute. However, thereu0026#39;s a major stumbling block for me. I find it nauseating that the bride in this movie is so incredibly spoiled. She expects her father, who has worked hard all his life to build a successful business, to spend $250 a head for what is probably a wedding of between 200-300 guests? Am I the only one who did the math on this one? I kept waiting for someone to say, hey there bride-to-be, youu0026#39;re asking way too much, but no–everyone gangs up on the father, who is concerned about the price tag, and acts as though *heu0026#39;s* he unreasonable one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI know this is just a movie, and I know itu0026#39;s not meant to be the issue we focus on, but I find behavior like this so egregiously offensive that it largely kills the humor of an otherwise cute movie for me.”
