Father of the Bride (DVD)
(Andy Garcia, Gloria Estefan, Adria Arjona, Isabela Merced, Diego Boneta, et al / DVD / PG-13 / 2023 / Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max)

Overview: A father�s coming to grips with his daughter�s upcoming wedding through the prism of multiple relationships within a big, sprawling Cuban-American clan.

DVD Verdict: For me, 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 screen time / story line 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 most definitely 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 film, with solid performances along with the personal wish that we get to see a second one with Isabela Merced and her character as our leading lady.
