Father of the Bride is a 1991 comedy film starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, George Newbern, Martin Short, and Kieran Culkin. The movie's soundtrack was scored by Alan Silvestri and was influenced by Jazz and Christmas instrumentations. The Temptations (and their performance of "My Girl") joined up with several other groups and artists to add musical numbers to the movie as well. It is a remake of the 1950 movie of the same name. In 1995, a theatrical sequel, Father of the Bride Part II, was released.

This film is number 92 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies".

George Banks (Steve Martin) is an ordinary, upper-middle-class man whose 22-year-old daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has decided to marry a man (George Newbern) from an upper-class family. George can't think of what life would be like without his daughter and becomes slightly insane, although his wife (Diane Keaton) tries to make him happy for Annie. When the wedding takes place at their home, along with a foreign wedding planner named Franck (Martin Short) taking over the ceremony, George must try to handle the fact that kids eventually grow up. Short and Martin have also been in The Prince Of Egypt together.

This film spun-off a sequel, Father of the Bride Part II.

The film also inspired a semi-spin-off, in a series of Hallmark commercials that featured the smiling faces of the happy couple and sneak-peeks at the backs of numerous greeting cards.
