Trivia:

In the theatrical trailer, a scene which is not included in the DVD is shown with Franck telling George and Brian that there will be "sterks" (storks) at the baby shower. During the Scrabble scene, you can see "sterks" on the board, along with the other pregnancy-related words.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Filming of the scene where George and Nina are in the car after she finds she is pregnant, took place in on Greenleaf Blvd, in Whittier. All the street scenes outside Nina's window on her side of the car are heading southbound. And All of George's passing scenery is heading northbound.

Quotes:

George Banks: Mr Habeeb, please, You see this pathway? I laid these bricks with my own two hands, I planted this grass, I built this fence, I BROKE THAT WINDOW WITH A FRISBEE, I painted these shutters. Don't bulldoze my memories man sell me back my home.
Mr Habeeb: For how much?

Not as good as the first, but still great fun.

In the sequel to the brilliant Father Of The Bride, Nina Banks and her daughter Annie are both pregnant and George Banks, being his usual nervous self has to learn to get used to the idea that he's going to be a father again AND a grandfather.

The whole cast including, Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams and Martin Short are all back here giving good performances.

Even though Father Of The Bride Part II is not as good as the first Father Of The Bride, this is still a great movie which is enjoyable and fun all the way through and that's why I'm going to give this good sequel a 10/10.
