r96 s 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' is, simply, good. I've known of this movie's title for as long as I can remember, though didn't know a single jot about anything else. Of course, the title is all you really need as you can connect the dots from there. It's chucklesome viewing, I liked it. Nia Vardalos is the star of the 90', but Michael Constantine puts in a standout performance as well. Lainie Kazan is the best of the rest. John Corbett's Ian character isn't fully fleshed out, I didn't hold as much interest as I feel like I should have; I'm already forgetting about him. A film with sequels titled numerically... noice! Hopefully I'll enjoy them as much as I did this original. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Nicholas B My Big Fat Greek Wedding is an interesting movie to watch, with plenty of humor and cultural charm. While it has some heartwarming moments and fun family dynamics, it may not stand out as exceptional. Still, it's an entertaining watch for those who enjoy lighthearted romantic comedies. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Stephen C LOL, 1 hour and 35 minutes of comedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG for Sensuality, and Language. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review stephen b I can appreciate the quirky humor which does lead to a few laugh out loud moments. It just wasn't enough to make up for a story I couldn't care about. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Brian D 76%. 3/7/25. Hadn't seen rating. Forgot how much of a reject the girl was initially. The family, specifically the father, is very funny. It's not hilarious but it's funny and a good, short film. 4/5 rewatch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Kevin P A very funny and charming rom-com about family and culture clashes. The cast is hilarious and share such great chemistry together. The parents, the aunt, the grandma, and the brother are easily the standouts. The male love interest is refreshingly nice and laidback, and seems to genuinely make the female lead happy and you can see why they end up together (it’s also refreshing to see most of the movie focus on the relationship, rather than stretch out the buildup with inconvenient misunderstandings or blue-balling will they won’t they shenanigans with some false herring romantic rival; helps that the screenplay was directly inspired by the main writer/actress’s actual family upbringing and wedding). The movie is very quotable and I appreciate how the movie subverts some typical rom com cliches (no melodramatic 2nd act breakup; the parents in-laws aren’t cruel, just awkward and even kind of sympathetic at the mercy of the big fat Greek family; even the transformative makeover is done gradually within the female lead’s own agency as a correlation to her gaining confidence at school and becoming more independent from her overbearing family). The Chicago Greektown setting is a nice touch as well. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
