Wedding bells are ringing! Max Original film Father of the Bride,<\/em><\/strong> starring Andy Garcia, Gloria Estefan, Adria Arjona, Isabela Merced, Diego Boneta and Chloe Fineman, premieres same day as the U.S. on Thursday, June 16<\/strong> only on HBO GO<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father of the Bride<\/em><\/strong> invites viewers to the love, food, music and fun of this modern rom-com reimagined from the timeless classic. The sparkling story of a family and its unbreakable bonds illustrates the surprising and funny ways the heart can adapt in the name of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-marrieds Billy (Andy Garcia) and Ingrid (Gloria Estefan) are surprised when their eldest daughter Sofia (Adria Arjona) comes home to Miami for a visit. But the surprises just keep coming when she announces a new boyfriend, Adan (Diego Boneta) \u2013 who is now her fianc\u00e9 \u2013 and their plans for a quick-turnaround wedding and new life together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sofia\u2019s quickfire revelations keep Billy and Ingrid from making their own disclosure \u2013 that they\u2019re calling quits on their marriage \u2013 but both agree to delay the news and play the loving couple for the benefit of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old-fashioned Billy is at first opposed to the wedding, but he is eventually swayed \u2013 as long as his opinions as father of the bride carry the most weight in all things matrimonial. A prominent architect and family man, Billy feels his hard-fought success and dedication to his heritage earn him the right to call the shots. After all his achievements, why is he suddenly seen as the bad guy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same could also be said for Adan\u2019s equally headstrong father, Hernan (Pedro Dami\u00e1n), who soon arrives with his own traditions and family pride in tow. With both iron-willed fathers vying to take charge of the festivities, it becomes a prideful game of one-upmanship, as cultures clash, generations take sides and competing traditions collide. Family relationships are tested, along with the couple at the centre of it all, as the roller coaster ride of wedding planning races toward the altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max Present A Plan B Entertainment Production, Father of the Bride<\/em><\/strong>, directed by Gaz Alazraki (Nosotros Los Nobles<\/em>, Club de Cuervos<\/em>) and produced by Plan B Entertainment\u2019s Oscar winners Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner (Minari<\/em>, Moonlight<\/em>, 12 Years a Slave<\/em>, Eat Pray Love<\/em>) and Paul Michael Perez (No manches Frida<\/em>, Spare Parts<\/em>). The screenplay is by Matt Lopez (Promised Land<\/em>, The Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice<\/em>), based on the novel by Edward Streeter. The executive producers are Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Ted Gidlow and Jesse Ehrman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
