Storyline:
In this sequel to Father of the Bride (1950), Stanley Banks (Spencer Tracy) learns that his daughter Kay (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) is going to have a baby. When they get the news everyone except Stanley is overjoyed. His wife and grandmother-to-be Ellie (Joan Bennett) broadcasts it everywhere and all Stan can do is worry about the practical things like how his son-in-law Buckley Dunstan (Don Taylor) can afford it. Well, having not long ago paid for the wedding, Stanley has no intention of bearing any of the expenses involved. Buckley's parents and Ellie are overjoyed at the news and virtually take over redecorating the young couple's new house. Crisis and false alarms take over their lives and when the child is born, the only person he doesn't seem to like is Stanley. A walk in the park - and absolute panic when Stanley misplaces his grandson - seems to resolve the situation.
Reviews:
"It's not necessary to watch Father of the Bride first, since the very title gives away the plot, but if you like classic movies, feel free to watch it before diving into the sequel, Father's Little Dividend.
The entire cast returns, giving a repeat performance worthy of Edward Streeter's original characters, from the silliest obstacles to Spencer Tracy's narration. If ever there was a grumpy actor who could pull of hostility towards impending grandfather-hood, it was Mr. Baked Potato himself, Spencer Tracy. I'm not a fan of Spence, but he really is perfectly grumpy in these movies, just as the character warrants.
In this one, Elizabeth Taylor's expecting a baby. Father isn't looking forward to the little critter taking over everyone's lives, and he tries to combat everyone else's excitement every step of the way. I love these movies; they're so hilariously true to life even now, even though there are dated "Honey I'm home" elements sprinkled along the way. Both Father movies are funny and delightful; pick them up for an old movie marathon over the weekend! DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, there's one scene in this movie that might be not your friend. Father and daughter sit on a bench swing and talk, and it might make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"" -Written by HotToastyRag in IMDb.com
