Father of the Bride 1 🎥 1991 Movie Info

Plot Summary

George Banks is sitting in his house right after the wedding reception of his 22-year-old daughter, Annie. George then narrates the events that lead up to Annie’s wedding. George lives in San Marino, California, with his wife, Nina, and their much younger son, Matty, and is the owner of a successful athletic shoe company called Side Kicks. Annie, freshly graduated from college, returns home after travelling around Europe. She announces that she is engaged to Bryan MacKenzie, despite them only having known each other for three months. The sudden shock turns the warm reunion into a heated argument between her and George, but they quickly reconcile in time for Bryan to arrive and meet them.

Despite his good financial status and likable demeanor, George takes an immediate dislike to him, while Nina accepts him as a potential son-in-law. George does not want to let go of Annie. George and Nina meet Bryan’s parents, John and Joanna MacKenzie, who are wealthy and live in a mansion in Bel Air. John reassures George by also expressing how shocked he had initially been at Bryan’s engagement and the two couples find they get along well, but George quickly gets into trouble when he begins nosing around the MacKenzies’ financial records. He eventually ends up falling into their pool when cornered by their aggressive pet Dobermans.

All is forgiven, however, and the Banks family meets with an eccentric European wedding coordinator named Franck Eggelhoffer. He sneers dismissively at George’s complaints about the price of wedding items, and George becomes frustrated as Annie and Nina plan for extravagant items such as a flock of swans and alterations to the family home, where the reception is to be held. When George discovers that the wedding as planned will cost $250 a head, he insists on cutting down the guest list.
