Trivia:

In the theatrical trailer, a scene which is not included in the DVD is shown with Franck telling George and Brian that there will be "sterks" (storks) at the baby shower. During the Scrabble scene, you can see "sterks" on the board, along with the other pregnancy-related words.

Goofs:

Continuity: Annie's name as shown on her wedding invitation, seen at the beginning of the film, is "Anne Elizabeth", but in Father of the Bride (1991), we hear the minister give her name as "Anne Catherine" during the wedding ceremony.

Nina Banks: Just because we're older doesn't mean we're old. This is the 90s.

Funnier than the first one

I thought the movie was quite funny, especially scenes like Martin Short doing a workout with the pregnant mother and daughter...that was really great! Martin Short is basically one of the highlights of the movie...his accent is so weird and funny that you have to love him. Steve Martin was also good, and I liked his reactions to everything. Overall, the flick was better than the first one, and cute. But after awhile, Steve Martin gets a bit annoying with his obsessing over the pregnant women.
