Celluloid Heroes

Father of the Bride II

Posted to Comedy on June 28th, 2006 by Chad Everett

Steve Martin is back as George Banks, and if it wasn’t bad enough that his daughter is grown up and taken away from him, now it turns out that she is pregnant and wanting to move away when the baby is born. So he puts the house up for sale – he is moving to the beach.

In a classic bit, the house sells way too quickly (the buyer is Eugene Levy in a small but funny role), but before he knows it his own wife is pregnant and he needs that space. So the buyer offers to sell it back, but only for a profit of one hundred thousand dollars. Not bad for a day’s work.

Not wanting to see his house be torn down (and also to get back in his wife’s good graces), George relents, and buys the house back. He also builds a baby suite and caters to both his wife and daughter for the next nine months.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
