So he's brought everyone together because he wants to have an impromptu meeting online, and he wants everyone to be there. Matty has been with the same woman for six years, and he's sick of waiting to have a wedding to marry her due to the coronavirua pandemic. Speaking of which, that's exactly what this whole meeting is about.

It doesn't explain why the computer Nina is sitting on (based on her background) would be in the middle of the kitchen, but concessions had to be made in the age of coronavirus. They're all grown up and living on their own while George is driving himself crazy about the coronavirus pandemic, and he's driving Nina crazy too, which is why he's banished into his own room, which is how they explain why George and Nina aren't sitting in front of the same computer. That's right, Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kieran Culkin, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and George Newbern are all back, and this time it's Matty (Culkin) taking the spotlight with a big announcement, and some special guests flesh out the two youngest members of the Banks family.Īlong with the return of everyone from the original movie, we've got Florence Pugh as Megan Banks, the daughter of George and Nina (Martin and Keaton), and Ben Platt as Georgie Banks, the son of Annie Banks-MacKenzie and Bryan McKenzie. And if you're looking for a dose of joy with the cast of one of the best family comedies of all-time, writer/director Nancy Meyers has delivered it with a reunion of the original cast of Father of the Bride. Why It's Essential Viewing: Look, things are pretty bleak here in 2020, so we'll take any kind of emotional boost we can get. It's been 25 years since we spent time with the Banks family, and if you're wondering what the family has been up to, Father of the Bride Part II (ish) will (kind of) show you as they reunite for in a breezy virtual family meeting, including the grown up babies who were born in Father of the Bride Part II, played by two very familiar young actors. The Pitch: This week, Netflix surprised everybody with the debut of a mini-sequel to the 1991 remake of Father of the Bride and the baby blossoming sequel that followed four years later.
