I can't believe they made this movie in 1997. It seems one of those 80's comedies. Which is not bad in itself, just the fact it somehow seems really dated. Everything seems to have done before. And audience have seen this many times before. Both Bette Midler and Dennis Farina have played many similar characters lots of times.Just within a few minutes you can guess what is going to happen. Script is predictable and clichéd, dialogs are cheesy straight from 80's. I am just surprised how this movie got to be made.The movie title itself serves as a warning. While watching this movie you also get that old feeling that you have seen it all before.
A young woman invites her parents to her wedding, knowing that they absolutely hate each other and haven't spoken in 14 years.Warning them not to ruin her wedding by making a scene, they agree to her demands, for her sake.But we all know that won't last long...This is a sweet comedy but is utterly unintertaining and absurdly boring in some parts.The acting is hideous, the lines are cheesy, the story is boring and the end is laughable.Imagine "Father of the bride" without any funny or touching moments, coupled with watching paint dry.
Bette and Dennis are absolutely fantastic in this.They just about explode every scene they have together. The young couple that play the married couple and the photographer are likewise wonderful. They more than hold their own with Bette and Dennis.Wonderful ensemble of characters.
I personally loved this movie. I thought it was very funny and entertaining. Midler gives an excellent performance as usual. My whole family and I watched and everyone enjoyed it. This is deffinently one of my favorite Bette Midler films. A must see!
