Sex and nudity in Father of the Bride Part II
Contains mild and infrequent innuendo. In one scene, a married couple (George and Nina) are seen waking up on the kitchen floor, implying they made love there overnight. There is some brief dialogue about their sex life. In a comedic, non-sexual mix-up at the hospital, an incoherent George is mistaken for a patient needing a prostate exam.
Violence and gore in Father of the Bride Part II
Violence is extremely light and played for slapstick comedy. In one scene, George is comically startled and chased by two Dobermans. During a frantic attempt to stop his old house from being demolished, George stands in front of a wrecking ball, which swings near him but does not hit him. These moments are brief and not intended to be frightening.
Language in Father of the Bride Part II
Language is very sparse. The word "bitchin'" is used twice in one scene by a teenager. Aside from this, there is no other profanity noted. The MPAA's rating citation of "mild language" refers to these usages.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Father of the Bride Part II
There is some social drinking of wine at meals. One character is seen smoking a cigarette in a couple of scenes. A key sequence involves drug misuse: to help him sleep, George is given strong sleeping pills by Franck and accidentally takes two, causing him to become barely conscious and incoherent right as his daughter goes into labor. This is played for comedic effect but depicts an accidental overdose.
Mature themes in Father of the Bride Part II
Moderate thematic elements drive the plot. The film focuses heavily on George's midlife crisis and his anxiety about being both a grandfather and an older father. It explores marital stress, the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy, fears about aging, and sentimental attachment to one's home. The climactic hospital sequence, with two simultaneous labors, is chaotic and high-stress.
