A Classic B Movie.......2006-10-03
Six young friends take a summer job decorating a house, and spend the summer failing to decorate and instead spend their time trying to start personal projects. Theres a green peace wannabe, a guy who wants to be a photographer so he can take pictures of naked chicks, a girl who wants to work her way into the fashion world by designing bikini's and a guy who sits around being fat eating junk food, drinking beer and belching anytime someone talks to him. They all come together and hold a "save the beach bikini contest".
the film is quite good and has some beautiful women in it, well worth seeing.

The best Carmen I've seen.......2002-09-29
When looking for Carmen on DVD I read the reviews and picked this one because of the special staging ant the flamenco extra and I was not disappointed!
A grand-scale production with a large cast of 80,beautifully staged and with an extra 10 minutes flamenco dance.
Maria Ewing combines great singing with powerful acting.Her Carmen is vivid,sensual and full of passion.
The best Carmen I have seen.
If you want to "hear" the opera then you may find better versions on CD,but if you want to"see" the opera, this is the DVD to buy!
I liked the staging,the choreography and the acting.
I give it only 4 stars because of the supporting casting which is good but no more.
Fully Recommended.......2002-08-02
Maria Ewing performance in this stage production is second to none, as too is the supporting cast. The set, lighting and stage production are absorbing, so much so, it's nearly tactile. The soundtrack is, without being overly enthused, just brilliant in full HiFi. I fully recomment this production on DVD.
Amazon.co.uk Review
This 1990s update of the Spencer Tracy-Elizabeth Taylor hit is a mix of the pleasant and the silly, a nice enough movie but a little too controlled to become particularly interesting. Steve Martin plays the ageing patriarch who is threatened by his daughter's engagement and not-quite-willing to let her go. The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers provides Martin's character with a perhaps too-broad range of comic responsiveness to the situation, some of it gentle (a ritual game of basketball between dad and his little girl) and some of it slapstick (Martin sneaking around his prospective in-laws' house and encountering a guard dog). Martin Short turns up as a wedding co-ordinator--which has deliriously delicious possibilities--but his inventiveness doesn't quite strike the chord this time. --Tom Keogh

Funny and Touching Comedy.......2007-12-26
George Banks (Steve Martin) has just heard the words every father dreads. His daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has just announced that she's getting married to Bryan (George Newbern), a man she met while studying in Europe. While George's wife Nina (Diane Keaton) is thrilled by the news, George doesn't handle it well. After all, this means big changes happening in his life. And he doesn't cope well with change.
So, naturally, he handles this the way any dad would. He starts watching "America's Most Wanted" in case Bryan is on it. And when it comes to planning the wedding, his idea is cheap and informal, much to the women's dismay. Will he ever get with the program? And if he does, will he survive the big day?
This movie isn't a laugh until it hurts comedy. There are plenty of laugh out loud parts, but the humor is often subtler. While some of George's antics are definitely over the top and border on embarrassing, the movie manages to find the balance between embarrassment and humor. And the ending it truly touching.
And I can't say enough about the acting. Everyone is believable. In fact, what makes the movie work is the fact that every one of the characters and actors seems absolutely real. The exception, of course, are Franck and Howard, the over the top wedding coordinators played by Martin Short and B. D. Wong who absolutely steal every scene they are in.
Whether you've gone through a wedding or not, this movie will make you laugh and touch you. And what more could you want from a wedding, and movie, then that?
Doesn't have to rely on 90s toilet humour to be funny.......2007-12-23
A very nice, heart-warming family movie with plenty of gags thrown in for good measure! The funniest gags is when Steve Martin has a bit of trouble with the dogs at the posh mansion! Steve Martin is OK in this movie. He is George Banks. He is a nice, kind man who wants the best for his daughter and wants his whole family to be completely happy with their situation. Diane Keaton is good as his wife and mother of their daughter Annie. This is a great, touching movie that doesn't have to rely on 90s toilet humour and crude gags and shows that a classic movie can be created using imagination and sensitivity.
All time favourite!.......2006-03-28
This is without a doubt my favourite movie of all time. I love the warmth of the story, the humour Steve Martin and Martin Short inject into the movie, even the music is all so perfect. George Bank's (Steve Martin) daughter returns home from studying architecture in Rome and announces she is engaged to a man she met there. The plot is based around George's struggle to let go of his daughter and to accept his new son-in-law whilst his wife and daughter plough ahead planning a very expensive wedding with the help of Franc (Martin Short) the wedding co-ordinator.
This is definitely a feel good movie and if you are a fan of Steve Martin, I would highly recommend it. PS have he tissues ready as it is a tear-jerker
Well observed, and ageing gracefully.......2003-06-04
This film is begining to look dated now, but don't let that put you off. It is a well observed ode to fathers, who are so often overlooked in the largely female dominated world of weddings. Although Martin Short manages to steal every scene he's in with a hugely over the top and immensley enjoyable turn as wedding planner with an outrageous accent. It reminds fathers not to get too caught up in the money that is being spent, and reminds us daughters not to sideline our dads.
Fantastic.......2001-04-10
This is one of my all time favourite films. I think that it is due to having the humour along with the serious emotional side. This film can all appeal to everyone and is a classic that I will watch time and time again.
