If you like comedy which exaggerates, especially about all the humorous pitfalls of meeting the family and wedding planning, then you will love this. I don't. I have a particular dislike for that time of comedy. I don't think Bart Johnson as Steve, the bride's dad, helped my outlook on this movie. I think he was over the top even for this kind of movie.
I expected something that would emphasize how a strong and loving father helps a daughter to grow up strong. That theme was definitely there. I just didn't expect it to be in a movie where families from two different cultures meet and plan a wedding.
The story follows a lot of the usual lines for that type of movie. The comedy is about dad embarrassing himself, not to mention being unreasonable and demanding. I guess it did that well enough. Then toward the end, as you'd expect, it turns serious and half the characters change their personalities 180 degrees.
