in the 1995 sequel to the beloved “Father of the Bride,” a bewildered patriarch,George Banks,apprehensively navigates the impending double weddings of both his daughters – an event that,as he soon realizes,is merely a catalyst for a profound midlife crisis that challenges his perception of his own relevance. Three decades later, “The Father of the Bride 2” remains a poignant reflection on the fears and uncertainties that frequently enough accompany this milestone, even as it inadvertently falls short in accurately capturing the multifaceted realities of modern-day 40-somethings.
– the fashion Nightmare: Frumpy Florals and Shoulder Pads
So here’s my first fashion beef: the florals and shoulder pads. Annie’s outfits are an assault on the senses; the pastels, the ruffles, the sheer blouses, the bows…It’s like a human Easter egg, minus the charm. George is not quite as bad,but his shirts are often too billowy,his pants too loose,and his ties too wide. I get that they were trying to dress according to the fashion of the time,but it just looks so dated now. It’s like watching an episode of dynasty from the Ps: you can’t help but cringe at the outfits.
