Fun Stuff

Trivia:
This is one of a handful of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer productions of the 1950-1951 period whose original copyrights were never renewed and are now apparently in Public Domain; for this reason this title is now offered, often in very inferior copies, at bargain prices, by numerous VHS and DVD distributors who do not normally handle copyrighted or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer material. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The baby is christened 'Stanley Banks' but should have been christened 'Stanley Dunstan' or 'Stanley Banks Dunstan'. more

Excellent Sequel!, 13 August 1999
Author: Patrick Sullivan (sullivpj@sce.com) from Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

I usually do not care for sequels, but this one is a complete joy! The first film; "Father of the Bride" was rightly nominated for the Academy Award for best picture, so this film had a lot to live up to. Spencer Tracy does not come to mind when you think about comedy, but he is hysterical as Stanley Banks, who has to come to terms on grandparenting. Joan Bennett is a perfect co-star for him, they work extremely well together. Her "double takes" with him are particularly funny.
