Worth Another Watch: 'Father of the Bride' Now Streaming on Disney+
Some movies are worth another watch. Call them comfort films. The critics can zip it when it comes to these gems. Entertaining storylines, memorable moments and other intangibles are all that matter. Simply put, these movies are supremely rewatchable. Thankfully, the streaming world often allows us to revisit some of our all-time favorite flicks whenever we want. One movie that is worth another watch, especially if you're a girl dad, is "Father of the Bride" now streaming on Disney+. Get the scoop on why this movie is so rewatchable below.

Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams-Paisley (before she went all "9-1-1: Nashville" on us) lead a truly charming cast. The story is just as delightful. George Banks, a very traditional, fairly frugal dad spirals just a bit when his daughter, Annie, gets engaged. Fiancé Bryan MacKenzie is great, but George still sees Annie as his little girl. That makes this MacKenzie kid Parent Enemy #1.
As the big day draws ever closer, a simple nuptial celebration turns into a huge, expensive production that's made even more chaotic by eccentric wedding planner Franck Eggelhoffer (Martin Short). Awkward dinners, tuxedo drama (Armani doesn't make a "blue" tux) and a totally relatable grocery-store meltdown over hot dog buns add to the stress.
There are plenty of laughs in "Father of the Bride." There's also a lot of heart. At one point, George is embarrassed to give Annie a cappuccino maker as an engagement gift after discovering that Bryan's parents bought the happy couple a new car. Annie asks to see the gift, opens it and affectionately lets her dad know that she couldn't love anything more. George's feelings exactly. Chills. Sniffles. Tears.
There are many other roundhouse punches to your emotional gut. After Annie's brother, Matty, engages in a late-night aisle-walking rehearsal, he has a matter-of-fact "I love you" exchange with his big sis. George overhears this and raises his hand toward his overflowing heart.
This rolls into a scene where Annie is outside shooting hoops the night before her wedding. She's nervous about starting her new life and reminiscing about the past. George says, "Well, that's the thing about life, is the surprises, the little things that sneak up on you and grab hold of you." It's another sentimental moment that the father of the bride will remember sharing with his little girl for the rest of his life.
No need to read about "Father of the Bride" here when you can stream it anytime on Disney+. It's a funny, heartfelt story about loving your family, accepting change, growing up and letting go. It's also one of those great little movies that's worth another watch.
