I don't know whether to be offended that MJ didn't know Father of the Bride or embarrassed that I knew it and was asking the same question.
Never be embarrassed about knowing any trivia whatsoever, especially not Father of the Bride. I know some Saved by the Bell trivia, but I would never shy away from it. I try to embrace it and show it off any chance I get.
In case you're wondering, the other answers that our favorite fan MJ missed were:
3. Speed
5. Back to School
6. Karate Kid
8. Cocktail
18. Rainman
