Critics Consensus

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is as sweet and harmless as the original, but its collection of sitcom gags and stereotypes never coalesces into anything resembling a story with a purpose.

Financial Times

There is so much food, music, dancing and crying that you want to come out, at the end, and find a quiet place to watch paint dry. Unless, of course, you loved MBFGW1 and have spent 14 years waiting for MBFGW2.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 isn't a bad sequel, it's just a pointless one.

14 years after the insanely inescapable success of My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes its sequel ... This time around, the charm is gone.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Such is an easy draw, but that charm has limits in a been-there-done-that sequel.

There's not an ounce of cynicism here, and I think audiences might respond to the sweet open heartedness of Vardalos and company, but there isn't a lot of originality here either.

'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2' isn't the most imaginative or transformative sequel, but it holds enough charm to be perfectly watchable. One part of the plot does hit the most obvious beat, though alongside it is a relatively different story. Either way, I didn't dislike it. Nia Vardalos and Michael Constantine are again the film's key two; they are amusing, together and individually. John Corbett's character is better this time out; I felt he was underused last time. Lainie Kazan is good, as are new additions Elena Kampouris and Mark Margolis. It isn't anything special or overly memorable, though I do think it makes for a sweet fourteen-year follow-up.

As charming as the first, this is such a beautiful film so underrated so confusing to people looking for complex relationships. Its soundtrack is as effective as any film will be. Perhaps people who saw the first film don’t understand why this is a perfect compliment to it but this film is a joy.

I don't think the Original "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" could ever be surpassed, but the sequel makes a good effort. If you loved the original, you're going to like this one. It brings back the same lovable characters, and it's not short on laughs. Andrea Martin always shines with her comedic delivery.
