What is Father of the Bride about?
Billy and Ingrid have quietly drifted toward separation after decades of marriage, a fact they haven't told their children. Before that conversation can happen, their daughter announces she is engaged, and the family is pulled into wedding planning that forces old tensions, generational gaps, and unspoken resentments to the surface at once. Billy, set in his ways, struggles to accept his daughter's choices about her own future while also confronting how much his marriage has actually changed underneath the surface of daily routine. Around the central couple, siblings, in-laws, and extended relatives each bring their own view of what the family should look like, turning preparations for one wedding into a reckoning for the whole clan. The film moves between comedy and more sincere family drama as it works toward the ceremony itself.
About the cast
Andy García and Gloria Estefan play the parents at the center of the story, with Adria Arjona and Diego Boneta as the engaged couple; Isabela Merced, Chloe Fineman, and Enrique Murciano fill out the extended family in supporting roles.

Gary Alazraki, working across comedy and drama, keeps the film's tone light even as it handles a marriage under real strain.
