appointment today For ihi tenlie you toll Movie Review Father of the Bride just another rerun By DAWN WOOD Herald Special Father of the Bride directed by Charles Shyer is a farcical assault on the grossly indecent operation of big business wedding events The movie features Steve Martin as the father of the Diane Keaton as his doing wife and Martin Short as Franz the outlandish wedding Despite the giant names of comedy actors in this production including a cameo appearance by Eugene Levy as Ben Banks the movie offers few that aren t obviously contrived Diane Keaton is underutilized a window dressing role as the motherwife Nina Banks though the comic element is salvaged by Martin Short and B D Wong who do deserve praise for their per formances as the high strung Franz and his pony tailed ex assistant The plot is simple A couple of rich American children ly Williams and George Newbern meet in Rome Italy fall love introduce their fat cat parents and plan their wedding The wedding is to be a modest cheap backyard do that ends up costing the father of the bride a cool per head for about heads On the surface the point seems relatively funny and harmless Weddings are expensive always end up costing more than an ticipated and go way beyond budget but in the end are worth it to see the offspring happily mar off in style The unique relationship bet ween father and daughter is also developed Guelph St Georgetown Glenlea Drugs Queen St and Acton Pharmacy 2 Mam St N Drop in your Stories Scores Announcements Classified For help in placing your Classifieds please call Joan or Barb at 8772201 But beneath this veneer we see the farce in George Banks com plaining about his wife and daughter s indulgence- He is the proprietor of a medium sized company that manufactures sports shoes And if he sees the wedding as a personal monetary sacrifice we must wonder about the sacrifices of the poor slobs working for him in the factory In the recession of the s it is unlikely that couples will be plan rang decadent weddings on the scale of those of the 80s or like the one in Father of the Bnde The redeeming in Father of the is that it pokes fun at the people who do get suck ed into the commercialism of weddings SAVE YOUR BODY NORTH END NISSAN Martin SI Milton VIDEO PLUS Well of Georgetown I COMING THIS WEEK JUST FOR YOU Rocketeer Regarding Henry Perfect Bride Over Her Dead Body
