"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is an easy to cherish slice-of-life about family and tradition.

Operates on the cliched romantic comedy formula down to it's core. The overriding exception is the infectious fun, upbeat tone generated by the cast of weirdos. The eccentric nature of these characters rings true to some family members you might have. It's funny to see their specific traditions and outdated views on marriage become exaggerated. The goofy material is handled deftly, as to not make everything seem too cartoony. A simple, easy watch I (surprisingly) found some enjoyment in.

Fotoula "Toula" Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) falls for a non-Greek school teacher named Ian Miller (John Corbett). Had too much kissing scenes in my perception and a few ridiculous moments. The heart and value of family was well portrayed, the comedic timing was effective and the supporting cast delivers. Big Fat Greek Wedding is fun and entertaining look at the culture of Greek individuals and the power of love.

While some of the jokes seem obvious or corny, the romance that blossoms between Corbett and Vardalos has a real vivacity to it and is the glue that gives this comedy an emotional heart.

This is a great family comedy. Nia Vardalos does a great job of balancing making fun of people and showing how much you love them at the same time. My family isn't greek, but I could really relate to this movie. I'm sure many of you will feel the same. Don't let the romance tag fool you, you can get your family to watch this. Every time I watch I laugh out loud and I'm not really that kind of laugher normally.

i love this movie because the family is so annoying, but they are characters that you don't forget.

This movie had so much hype that we bought it because it was to hard to rent. This movie was okay but nothing I am proud to have in our collection.
