Steve Martin and Diane Keaton return to star in the sequel of "The Father of the Bride" and manages to make it appealing. This time, George Banks is set for another major problem: his daughter is about to have a child --- and so is his wife! These events makes Banks go loco like last time. The 1991 version of "The Father of the Bride" is better than this sequel because it's substantially funnier and most of the jokes haven't worn out yet. Martin Short returns as Franck Eggelhoffer who, for some reason or another, managed to get hired to set up the baby shower.
