The kicker? He hasn’t clued his fiancé into this idea yet.

Once the OG cast members (plus the grown-up babies from Father of the Bride Part II ) join the Zoom, Matty makes an announcement: he wants to get married to his fiancé. Just seeing the cast together is exciting, and it’s fun to see how they’ve changed, yet stayed the same, now that they’re “all grown up.” George shows us that some things never change, as he remains a perpetual worrier and “over-reactor” to the pandemic, scouring the internet for PPE and cleaning supplies and sharing lists for his family members to follow in order to stay healthy.

We are greeted by cast members joining the story in a Zoom-like fashion, and they let us know from the start that they are incorporating COVID-19 into the storyline. From there, the approximately 30-minute special was, well…special. The special opened with an introduction from Reese Witherspoon, announcing that the special was made to benefit World Central Kitchen and urging fans to donate to the cause. There were also some newcomers to the cast, including Alexandra Shipp (as Matty’s fiancé Rachel), Robert De Niro (as Rachel’s father), Ben Platt (as George Banks-MacKenzie), and Florence Pugh (as Megan Banks). Fans rejoiced! On Friday, September 25th, the newest installment of the series debuted on Netflix’s YouTube and Facebook pages.įans were elated to see the original cast reunite for this special, including Steve Martin as George Banks, Diane Keaton as Nina Banks, Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Annie Banks-MacKenzie, Kieran Culkin as Matty Banks, and Martin Short as party-planner extraordinaire Franck Eggelhoffer. Fans of this film, which is a remake of the Spencer Tracy classic by the same name, received a recent surprise from its writer and director Nancy Meyers, who announced and then teased on Instagram that a “three-quel” entitled Father of the Bride: Part 3 (ish) would soon air. With an all-star cast and classic storyline, this 1991 movie is beloved by many and has certainly stood the test of time. A movie that brings to mind feelings of pure nostalgia for many is Father of the Bride.
