I saw this movie when I was really young and I remember thinking Steve was funny. Watching this movie now as a college student I can't believe this was actually a popular movie.
So this kid does 1 semester of study abroad in Rome (A worthless waste of money. College was already difficult, now you have to study Biochem in Italian and the worst part, depending on your future areas of study you'll probably have to retake those classes since many organizations want to see GRADES earned and not just credits.). But, I digress.
She meets some guy, was independent enough to 'accept' a marriage proposal to a man her family has never even heard of. Comes home and shares the amazing news and everyone is expected to be happy. I would say any parent whose initial reaction wasn't along the lines of 'shocked to upset' probably doesn't like their kid too much.
Then the expenses started rolling in. $250 a head, 572 guests and a wedding coordinator fluent in gibberish. I was already annoyed about this entire pretext but what really got me was the tantrum the daughter threw when the Dad was trying to cut down the guest list. '...Why don't we just charge people? That way we can make money on the wedding."
At that point, what Steve should have done was given her a check for $10K to contribute to the wedding, Congradulated her on her nuptials once more and walked out.
She's an independent woman, she'd figured it out.
