影片用轻松手法探讨父亲嫁女儿的复杂心情，在喜趣之余也有父女相对无言的感人时刻。1951年的续集《玉女弄璋》（Fathers Little Dividend）中，原班人马延续第一集的故事：斯丹雷以为嫁出女儿就万事大吉，岂料他很快就要当外祖父，随着孩子的出生，他的整个生活都给破坏了。该系列在1991年和1995年重拍，中文片名叫做《新岳父大人》和《新岳父大人之三喜临门》，由史蒂夫·马丁、戴恩·基顿主演，一般认为不如原版温馨但更加逗笑。
Who giveth this woman? "This woman." But she's not a woman. She's still a child. And she's leaving us. What's it going to be like to come home and not find her? Not to hear her voice calling "Hi, Pops" as I come in? I suddenly realized what I was doing. I was giving up Kay. Something inside me began to hurt.复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. She looks up to you. You're her oracle. You're her hero. And then the day comes when she gets her first permanent wave and goes to her first real party, and from that day on, you're in a constant state of panic.复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

I would like to say a few words about weddings. I've just been through one. Not my own. My daughter's. Someday in the far future I may be able to remember it with tender indulgence, but not now. I always used to think that marriages were a simple affair. Boy meets girl. Fall in love. They get married. Have babies. Eventually the babies grow up and meet other babies. They fall in love. Get married. Have babies. And so on and on and on. Looked at that way, it's not only simple, it's downright monotonous. But I was wrong. I figured without the wedding.复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Oh, Stanley. I don't know how to explain. A wedding. A church wedding. Well it's, it's what every girl dreams of. A bridal dress, the orange blossoms, the music. It's something lovely to remember all the rest of her life. And something for us to remember too.复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制
