[edit] Plot
George Banks (Steve Martin) is an ordinary, upper-middle-class man whose 22-year-old daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) has decided to marry a man (George Newbern) from an upper-class family. George can't think of what life would be like without his daughter and becomes slightly insane, although his wife (Diane Keaton) tries to make him happy for Annie. When the wedding takes place at their home, along with a foreign wedding planner named Franck (Martin Short) taking over the ceremony, George tries to handle the fact this his daughter is growing up.
[edit] Soundtrack
The movie's soundtrack was scored by Alan Silvestri and was influenced by Jazz and Christmas instrumentations. The Temptations (and their performance of "My Girl") joined up with several other groups and artists to add musical numbers to the movie as well.
[edit] Trivia
The part of Annie originally went to Phoebe Cates, but she declined due to pregnancy.
