The husband-and-wife team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers have shrewdly exploited the middle-aged descent of post-WWII baby boomers by casting Steve Martin and Diane Keaton as well-heeled establishment parents in their slightly retooled version of FATHER OF THE BRIDE, Vincente
Minnelli's 1950 hit, with the net result of allowing the graying fortysomething generation to watch themselves become their own parents on-screen.
George Banks (Martin) is an upper-middle-class businessman who lives in a big house in Los Angeles with his wife Nina (Keaton), who also runs a small business enterprise (although what that enterprise might be is never explained in the film)....
