Being a fan of Rue McClanahan seeing this movie made me laugh because it deals with life and the love of family. The whole cast did a wonderful job, Anne Bobby's performance was decent, her character is a great combo of funny, sarcasm , and full of emotion.

The plot follows a woman named Margaret who's in her early 50's that becomes engaged to a man named John who is approaching 40, what follows is a comical and crazy road to the altar as her four grown up children come home to attend the ceremony, each one dealing with their own issues.

It was a a wonderful film with a good story.

I've watched this movie movie than once. I love it. Kristy McNichol is one of my favorite actresses and this was one of her last movies. She makes the movie funny. I laughed at just about everything she said. The rest of the cast was good, of course. It was just a very enjoyable movie.

I really liked all three movies - Children of the Bride, Baby of the Bride and Mother of the Bride. I am buying Baby of the Bride from Amazon.com but I don't know where to get the other two. Does anyone know where I can purchase them? Kristy McNichol is one of my favorite actresses and I try to purchase most of her movies. Children of the Bride is the one I am most trying to find. I really like Patrick Duffy and Children of the Bride is the only one he is in. I would prefer to buy these movies on DVD but I will take VHS if I can find them. All three movies are fun and cute especially if you like Rue and Kristy. If anyone knows of any other movies like this please let me know.
