The Bride Gets theiThrills! Father Gets theiBills!
"I would like to say a few words about weddings," a weary man says from the middle of a muddle of rice and scattered bottles. What follows is a warm, witty look at what it means to be Father of the Bride.
Spencer Tracy is the father and Elizabeth Taylor is the bride in this lively Vincente Minnelli-directed classic. Taylor is glowingly showcased- and reflected in three mirrors when first seen in the wedding gown. Tracy's performance captures every loving father's exasperations and joys as the day approaches. It also captured the fourth of his nine Best Actor Academy Award nominations. The film also earned nominations for the Best Picture and Screenplay. Her comes the bride, there goes dad's wallet... and everyone's heart. What sparkling fun!

Number one comedy of all time - 4.5 out of 5 (5/19/2003)
Anyone who thinks MEET THE PARENTS is any good should take a look at this greatest classic. It's also the funniest comedy I've ever seen. Every scene makes me laugh so hard, no matter how many times I see it. What so great about it is that no one in this movie is trying to be funny, and it has little music which is quite unusual for a film directed by musical expert Vincente Minnelli.
Most of the scenes are done in one continuous shot or only a few camera set-ups, as Spencer Tracy is a renown
