quote
Matty Banks: I'm, 4-foot 6, I don't shave, I don't have a job, and I'm gonna be an uncle. Is there something weird about that?
George Banks: Finally, someone who thinks like I do.
Nina Banks: Oh, yeah, a 12 year old.
The curious thing about FATHER OF THE BRIDE II is that not only is it the sequel to a remake, but it's the remake of a sequel. As such, it's a perfect illustration of stretching an idea too far. Certain premises lack the necessary material for a multiple features, and this is one such example. As FATHER'S LITTLE DIVIDEND (upon which this screenplay is based) paled in comparison to the original FATHER OF THE BRIDE, so this production is an uninspired follow-up to its immediate predecessor.
