9. Father of the Bride

As I am writing this, I am supremely aware that it’s Mother’s Day. So before we go on, give your moms a call. We love you moms (Linda and Valerie especially). But today we are talking about the daddiest of all dad-rom-coms.

If you want a film filled with Steve Martin antics, bad nineties fashion, and a really great mom in Diane Keaton’s “Nina”, you’re in the right place. Sit back, relax, try not to worry so much about all the details, and enjoy Father of the Bride.
