Though still full of a lot of patriarchal condescension, I ended up liking the movie. I think you will too.

Juan Jos Campanella's The Son of the Bride isn't art, but it is artful.

Capaz de provocar o riso e arrancar lgrimas com a mesma facilidade, este maravilhoso filme acerta em tudo: desde o excepcional roteiro direo de Campanella, passando pelas performances irretocveis de Darin, Alleandro e Blanco. Um clssico instantneo

The Son Of The Bride's humour is born out of an engaging storyline, which also isn't embarrassed to make you reach for the tissues. This movie is to be cherished.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 21, 2002

Una obra maestra.

Son of the Bride is slight fare, but it does have it poignancies, and it is well-acted and sweet without being cloying.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 29, 2002

It's fresh, funny, biting, fast-paced and reasonably perceptive about people and their problems.

Son of Bride misses greatness by a hair.

| Jul 12, 2002

It's sweet and romantic without being cloying or melodramatic.

Poignant without being treacly or cloyingly phony.

Director Juan Jose Campanella could have turned this into an Argentine retread of "Iris" or "American Beauty," but instead pulls a little from each film and creates something more beautiful than either of those films.

It's a wise and endearing little film.

It would seem that wherever there are middle-class, midlife crises to be suffered, there are movies to be made about those crises, and they somehow all manage to transcend their local trappings in favour of a kind of borderless emotional banality.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2002

Son Of The Bride is one of the few movies we've witnessed that could make you cry for both its dramatic moments and its comedic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2002

What starts off as a possible Argentine American Beauty reeks like a room stacked with pungent flowers.
