Worth Another Watch: 'Father of the Bride' Now Streaming on Disney+

Some movies are worth a watch or, if they've been out there a while, worth "another" watch. Call them comfort films. No awards needed. The critics can zip it. Entertaining storylines, memorable moments and other personal intangibles are all that matter. The streaming world allows us to revisit some of our all-time favorite flicks. One movie that is worth another watch, especially if you're a girl dad, is "Father of the Bride." Get the scoop on why this movie is so special below.

Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams (before she went all "9-1-1: Nashville" on us) lead a delightful cast. 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 nears, a simple nuptial celebration turns into a huge, expensive production that's made even more chaotic by 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 madness.

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 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. Okay, 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 sister. George overhears this and raises his hand toward his overflowing heart having been paternally floored.

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 sincere, sentimental moment that the father of the bride will remember for the rest of his life.

No need to read about "Father of the Bride" when you can stream it anytime on Disney+. It's a funny, heartfelt story about family, change, and growing up. It's also one of those great little movies that's worth another watch.

EDITOR'S NOTE TO GEORGE BANKS-INSPIRED DADS: The popular reason hot dogs are often sold in packs of 10 and buns come in bags of eight reportedly has to do with meat weight and baking equipment. Hot dog makers decided on 10-per-pack for their own production convenience, as those tasty wieners are sold by weight. Ten dogs usually come out to about one pound. Bakers, on the other hand, stuck with eight buns per batch since that neatly fits on their oven trays. It can be a little frustrating unless you are having a blowout barbecue like George Banks briefly entertained doing for his daughter's wedding reception. Then all you need to do is buy four packs of franks and five bags of buns. And you thought all that grade school math would never come in handy in real life.
