       In this hilarious update of the much-loved Hollywood classic,  Steve Martin turns in a winning performance as George Banks, the  befuddled father who has a hard time letting go of his young daughter  (charming newcomer Kimberly Williams) when she unexpectedly announces  her plans to wed. Tickling funnybones and touching hearts of critics and  audiences alike, this entertaining treat chronicles George's hysterical  trials and tribulations leading up to the big event. Diane Keaton  shines as George's patient, level-headed wife, while funnyman Martin  Short lights up the screen as the off-the-wall wedding consultant.  FATHER OF THE BRIDE promises to love, honor, and deliver the kind of  motion picture fun you'll thoroughly enjoy.  

Synopsis  

  "If you build it, he will come." With these words, Iowa farmer Ray  Kinsella (Kevin Costner) is inspired by a voice he can't ignore to  pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Supported by his wife Annie (Amy  Madigan), Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a  place where dreams can come true. Along the way he meets reclusive  activist Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), the mysterious "Doc" Graham  (Burt Lancaster) and even the legendary "Shoeless Joe" Jackson (Ray  Liotta). A heartwarming experience that has moved critics and audiences  like no other film of this generation, Field of Dreams is a glowing  tribute to all who dare to dream.
