Forget bridezilla, this is dadzilla
Why see Father of the Bride?
the perfect wedding?
In the world of Stanley Banks, life as the average dad in suburbia is serene and predictable. Until, that is, his daughter reveals her surprise engagement. The discomfort of his overly tight suit is the perfect metaphor of the tightening grip the wedding preparations have on him logistically, financially and emotionally, with the looming prospect of his beloved daughter's passage into adult independence.
Based on Edward Streeter's 1949 novel of the same name, Father of the Bride is a much loved American comedy, with multiple movie and stage adaptations across the past seven decades. Dramatised by Caroline Francke, it's a hilarious and relatable ride through the practicalities of a happily-ever-after!
