This is the first Father Of The Bride movie I've seen and I did enjoy it.
The casting was probably the best part, Andy Garcia was amazing in his role as Father of the family, Adria Arjona was a welcome surprise with the only other film of hers I've seen being Morbius. Isabela Merced as usual was amazing in her role as the younger sister, though I wish she'd had more screentime/storyline to her character. I could definitely see her character being the leading lady in a Father Of The Bride 2 movie with Isabela reprising her role in it.
The story was good, with laughs and humor and kept the viewer invested in it. Did I know what was coming and what would end up happening, well yeah pretty much from the start of the film. But that doesn't make it bad, it did well to make itself unique and different from other films that share the genre.
Though I have to admit I supported most of the father's decisions throughout the film. There were times he went a bit overboard but I did agree with him about preserving tradition etc. Though maybe he and his daughter should have made concessions and come to a compromise that incorporated both what she wanted as well as some of the more traditional stuff as well. By the end they kinda got there at least, so that is something.
One of the best parts of the film was the scene when Isabela Merced uncovers a bowl of popcorn and starts eating it while watching her family drama going on. It brought a smile to my face as I've done the same many a time watching my own family fight.
All in all, a fun enjoyable movie with its own unique twist. A solid 7/10 stars from me and the wish that we'd get to see a second one with Isabela Merced and her character as our leading lady.
