Martin Short: Father Of The Bride

[@MasterEli1013]

Martin Short should have gotten an Oscar nomination for this role. It's so hilarious and well done.

[@henrysalisbury3175]

Elijah Espinoza The while film from screenplay to cast is Wonderful. The chemistry between Franck and George is comical! Welcome to the 90s Mr Bonks 😂😆

Henry Salisbury Watched these again recently, lockdown alone. But seriously every time I am shopping and have to buy buns or hotdog rolls, I always start a patchy version of his rant. Unfortunately not many people are as familiar with this film as you would hope.

I remember watching this movie the first time in the 90s. I fell on the floor crying from laughter. He just came out of nowhere and owned every scene. Steve Martin is just parked in the shadow the moment Short arrives. Legend.

[@GwaiZai]

That's Steve's job here. He's as a good as the straight man as he is the funny man.

[@lisayerry3694]

I have to disagree….they were the dynamic duo. If Steve hadn’t freaked out, Martin wouldn’t have been half as funny!!!

[@truehare]

@@lisayerry3694 Agree. Those two have incredible chemistry, and Steve's reactions make Martin seem even funnier than he already is on his own. Everything those two do togehter is gold, and we are fortunate that they are good friends and constantly work together. If you haven't already, check out Only Murders in the Building. They are outdoing themselves on every new season of that show.

[@MB-we7sw]

How on earth did everyone else stay in character during Short’s scenes. Zero chance I could’ve kept it together. 😂

[@47imagine]

Ever heard of multiple takes. It's not like they're filming this live.

[@littlesongbird1]

I noticed usually George his wife and daughter are in one shot and Martin short in another. They could have recorded those particular takes separately (they did that with chevy chase's rant in Christmas vacation).

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

You realize this is clearly filmed in shot-reverse shot, right? The camera gets Short’s part in a separate take from the family reactions…

Steve Martin, the dad, expression when he can't understand a word Martin Short says, and when he sees $1200 for the wedding cake......funny freaking stuff.

[@octo.lina69]

Fun fact: The famous “Franck” voice was kind of an accident. During the making of Father of the Bride, it was suggested that Short’s character, eccentric wedding planner Franck Eggelhoffer, had an accent that was so broad, audiences wouldn’t be able to tell where he was from. Relying on his improv skills, Short played Franck a handful of different ways, giving director Charles Shyer a number of versions to choose from. Shyer ended up going with the heightened presentation seen in the movie, thus creating one of Short’s most memorable characters🙂

[@creativeamerican8811]

Trust me , it really isn’t. Like obviously it is for a cake, but in context of how much Wedding Cakes cost, $1200 is an average priced wedding cake. Welcome to the 90’s.

[@latenightlogic]

@@creativeamerican8811 I looked up the average price before posting, yeah 1200 was the high end of average. I still would bulk at 1200 for a cake

[@user-qv4vj2kx4e]

How they not laughing out loud and keep their faces straight?? 😂😂😂

[@eltoro969]

Many of the scenes are shot from two angles and they may have used stand ins to do Shorts dialogue. In big movies like this one they use one camera only and have to shoot every scene several times from different angles. It's very common that actors act to a crew member reading the script and they edit the two angles into one. Except for the scenes where they appear together I bet they struggled not laughing. Maybe there are som blooper video somewhere.
