MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING is a pure joy, beloved and adored by audiences all over the world. Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) meets the charming and handsome Ian Miller (John Corbett) and they fall in love. There is only one small problem...Toula's big fat Greek family! The movie is so well-known that I won't elaborate on the machinations of the plot, this film is such a charmer. Filled with lovely performances from the entire cast especially Lainie Kazan and Andrea Martin … more

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a light hearted movie that touches on good family values.

At this point, Toula allows herself to be romanced by Ian, a free spirited teacher. The fireworks really begin to fly when Toula's family find … more

Like everybody else, I appreciate knowing in advance if a film is poor so I can avoid it; also, I prefer to "discover" an especially enjoyable film rather than hear or read raves about it in advance. This is one of three films I saw for the first time without knowing anything about them, the other two being Good Will Hunting and Bend It Like Beckham. Although I consider none a "great film," I thoroughly enjoyed all three but for different reasons I shall briefly discuss.Directed by Joel Zwick and … more

Hollywood doesn't do very well when it comes to making movies about families that people actually enjoy watching. To paraphrase Bruce Campbell, I think it's all the spores that are effecting the brains of the L.A. sub-culture. So when a wonderful little movie like MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING comes along and ends up breaking all kinds of records and earning tons of money, it really shouldn't be any surprise to anyone. I saw this movie in the theatre three weeks before the video came out and it was the … more
