7/10
A sequel that retains the freshness of the original
6 June 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Detailing the life of the newlyweds (does he really love her?) and the traumas attendant upon the birth of the first baby, "Father's Little Dividend" is a movie as nicely relaxing and easy to get on with as its predecessor, "Father of the Bride."

Months after the wedding of his daughter, Tracy is at last making a recovery from the effects of that marriage when he is told that his daughter and son-in-law are to have a baby… At first Tracy is opposed to the whole idea, but he adjusts to the inevitable… Then many problems arise and even the birth of the baby does not solve all the matters that cause worry and perplexity…

In "Cynthia" or "A Date with Judy," Liz Taylor—a bride-to-be or as eager wife and mother—she's a healthy, normal young woman, something of a forerunner to Elinor Donahue's bright, bubbly Betty of "Father Knows Best."

Once again, Spencer Tracy stole the picture as he came to face the enthusiasm and exuberance of grandfatherhood
