Father of the Bride
Year: 1950
Directed by: Vincente Minnelli
Written by: Edward Streeter, Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett
Starring: Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor
Erik: Personally, I prefer the 1961 version starring the most underrated comic actor of the last half of the twentieth century, Leon Ames. I'm kidding about that. But for a second there you probably thought I was smarter than you are. That's just the kind of trick the AFI's pulling here. Not only is the 1991 Steve Martin remake funnier, it's
more popular. That, of course, is the artistic kiss of death for the mincing gaywads at the AFI.
Seanbaby: Was the idea that someone's daughter gets married so compelling that it had to be remade twice? Here's an idea for Hollywood's screenwriters: next time you have the idea to remake a 90 minute sitcom about weddings again, remember that the best idea for a movie ever, Dawn of the Dead, has only been made once.

Seanbaby: If this movie gave you a handjob behind the cabin and taught you how to make an ashtray, it'd be as good as real summer camp.
