“Father Of The Bride” (*** out of four) was a delightful remake of the 1950 classic about a stubborn father (Andy Garcia) who learns that his daughter (Adria Arjona) has fallen in love and is about to get married and they have to plan out her wedding, just as him and his own wife (Gloria Estefan) have reached a divide in life and are about to divorce. Third telling of this story is about on par with the original and its previous 1991 Steve Martin remake, with a lot of heart, laughs, and Garcia and Estefan have dynamite chemistry together. Only complaint is Garcia’s character whose incessant negativity and complaining gets to be a bit much at times.
