A so so sequel

studioAT

'Father of the bride' was a good film and probably didn't need a sequel. But this is Hollywood, everything needs a sequel.

While it is clear that a lot of effort has gone into making this sequel work, the central idea stretches credibility and every idea the writer had seems to have been thrown at the wall in a desperate attempt to get laughs.

There are moments that remind you of the heart and humour that the preceding film had, but it's a load of nothing really.

I went into this film dubious about how good it could be, and I didn't finish watching it any more convinced that the original needed a sequel.
