Throughout the film series, the father of the bride, George Banks, played by the iconic comedian and actor Steve Martin, finds it hard to let go and does just about anything that he can to sabotage his eldest daughter, Annie Banks' (played by Kimberly Williams) marriage. And although the plot felt stifling and partial to many during those times, it goes without saying that women of the contemporary feminist movement would be less than entertained viewing a movie with such primitive rituals.
Since its inception in the early '90s, Father of the Bride's storyline, while entertaining at times, was largely anchored in the theory that women are constantly in need of rescuing and protection. But the real question is: does this movie series really need another installment? As it stands, the entire premise surrounding the movie, which detailed the tale of a father who struggles with "allowing" his daughter marry a man that she's fallen in love with, feels awfully old-fashioned, close-minded and a little sexist for the ideals of modern times. More than 25 years after the inaugural film first hit theaters in 1991, news from Us Weekly indicates that Father of the Bride 3 could actually be happening.
