Top 10 Reboots and Remakes
10. Father of the Bride Many forget that the 1991 modern classic starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and the future wife of Brad Paisley was actually based on a 1950 film of the same name. While it is formulaic and predictable, it is still awful y funny. The proof is in the pudding with this […]
