I've been driving myself insane for the last 10 years or so. When I was a kid growing up in the 90's, there was this movie that would come on that I LOVED. It was hilarious. And I can't remember the name of it, or who any of the actors were. I just know the plot and some general scenes.....Someone on here must know!
It's basically about girl who has to choose between 2 guys. Her dad keeps trying to fix her up with one of this employees (I think?) who is very successful and smart. She likes him, but she REALLY likes this guy who is kind of rough around the edges, and her dad HATES him.
Some scenes: The dad hosts a work party and wants the guy he likes to be there, but guy is sick in bed with the flu. The dad tells him to get there if he knows whats good for him. The guy ends up puking in the bathroom for the whole party and the girl takes care of him.
Another is the rough around the edges guy and the girl eat tacos or chilli dogs or something outside of a outdoor vendor and have deep conversations.
Another is towards the end. All of them go camping. The dad ends up getting stung by a bunch of bees and tripping over a rock or log and twisting his ankle and hurting his back.
I think there was also a scene where the dad owned the boat which he would sometimes go sleep on if he was stressed or something. And he takes everyoone out on the boat and people end up getting seasick and they are all passing a Pepto Bismol bottle around.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Someone please tell me you remember this movie!!
My H is a movie buff & he doesn't know. He's sleuthing on IMDB right now. (Thanks for giving him a non-video game task for the evening. This will bug him until he figures it out now!)

I want to say it had a very Father of the Bride kind of feel. I feel like the Dad was played by a Steve Martin type. But I already went through every.single. movie of his and he wasn't in it. Seriously- The first person to find this move, I'll send you 100 bucks.
Ooh...now it's a competition! buffyasummers, chances are really good you're going to get your answer tonight...or at least lots of possibilities! Do you think you'll recognize the title when someone guesses it?

Another scene I remember- The girl comes home from a date with rough around the edges guy, and the dad has been waiting up by the door in the dark. They get into an argument about the guy.
I remember so much about the scenes specifically but cannot see anyone's face. This is MADDENING.
