Synopsis

Kay Banks is getting married to the love of her life.

There’s just one problem: Her father isn’t ready to walk her down the aisle.

When Mr. Banks learns that one of the young men he has seen occasionally about the house is about to become his son-in-law, he starts to panic.

His little girl is all grown up.

Daughter Kay announces the engagement out of nowhere, and though Mrs. Banks and her sons are happy, Mr. Banks is in a dither.

As the wedding planning spins out of control and stretches Mr. Banks’ checkbook even thinner, the Banks household is thrown into chaos.

This lighthearted comedy about growing up and growing pains is a perpetual delight.

Press Reviews
