  • An online estimate placing the wedding above two hundred thousand dollars is rejected as too high.
  • The participants settle on roughly $60,000 to $90,000 in 1991.
  • Grandfather of the Bride is preferred over Father of the Bride 3 for a continuation title.
  • Father of the Bride is chosen as Steve Martin's best movie and sentimental favorite.
  • The Jerk, Roxanne, Parenthood, Bowfinger, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are considered alternatives.
  • The panel asks whether Annie was a good daughter after returning engaged without warning, forcing George to solve the blender fight, and failing to say goodbye in person.
  • One answer is that Annie is inexperienced at twenty-two rather than a bad person.
  • The opposing answer calls her a bad daughter and insists that she should find and hug both parents before leaving.
  • An alternate ending has her get back out of the car, run across all the cars, and give George a hug.
  • The proposed ending is compared with The Graduate and My Best Friend's Wedding.
