"Father Of The Bride"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the Steve Martin one, the Spencer Tracy one.

I love it.

May not get to watch it due to work -- but that's hanging in the balance -- I could still get to see most of the movie -- will miss beginning.

The gentle humor and story-telling style of this movie put me in mind of "The Cosby Show" (the one in the 80s) -- just sort of reflecting, riffing, & spinning on the basic, routine things that happen and feelings you have about them, in family life.

A wonderful movie.

A guy I work with, José, has watched every movie I've recommended to him, on that channel -- "The African Queen"; "Pat And Mike"; "Casablanca".

So tonight, gave him a small square of scratch paper with the relevant info for tomorrow night's movie.

(I wonder if they have all these movies in Puerto Rico, where he's from? I know very little about Puerto Rico.)

I think when you're a person who needs to learn, you are often astounded by how many things you don't know.

Or maybe it's just me.
