Alien at the Movies

Father of the Bride

This reboot of “Father of the Bride” film take on a Cuban/ Mexican flavor as stubborn controlling conservative dad, Billy (Andy Garcia), has a hard time dealing with the sudden wedding plans of his oldest daughter. His traditional ideals clashes with his wife (Gloria Estefan), his 2 daughters, his future in-laws, & the wedding planner. Not only that, but he & his wife were about to announce their divorce when their daughter’s engagement news is sprung upon them. It’s a hilarious romp as the 2 families & the family members butt heads over disagreements. Just when everything seems to be going wrong, last minute spontaneous improvising by everyone saves the wedding day.

Alien gives it 3 “stormy weather” stars out of 4.
