Title: painless sequel to "Father of the Bride"
Review: This is a painless sequel to "Father of the Bride". An extract from Pauline Kael's review of that movie is true of this one:Deeply conventional, plushly middle-class view... we look on at the follies of sensible, prosperous people in their clean, comfortable, Waspy homes.Tracy, at the center of things, gives his basic sturdy-clod performance...The movie suffers less from "sequel degradation" than most, for what that's worth. And there is a really hilarious scene with Joan Bennett and Tracy driving to the hospital.I'd really give it 3.5 or 3.75 stars if I could.
