The Son of the Bride (2001)
(El hijo de la novia)
Country: ARG/SP
Technical: col 125m
Director: Juan José Campanella
Cast: Ricardo Darín, Héctor Alterio, Norma Aleandro, Eduardo Blanco, Natalia Verbeke
Synopsis:
A restaurant manager in his early forties reaches mid-life crisis point as his father conceives the romantic notion of remarrying his Alzheimer-stricken mother in a church.
Review:
Leisurely comedy drama with a familiar theme, assuredly handled by its cast but with more than a modicum of sentiment counteracting the intimations of mortality. If it weren't from Argentina it would doubtless get scant attention, and it certainly is no Dinner Rush, but it is not without touching and funny moments.
