The tone in this movie was very lighthearted, but serious where it needed to be. I'm going to sound extremely hypocritical here but I'm interested to see how Paris's story ends. Actress Nia Vardalos has come up with an idea and discussions are in the works. The potential for sequels was left open-ended, with a family member coming out as gay and Paris developing a love interest for a Greek boy from her school, any of these could be the subject for another big fat Greek wedding. ![]() Even if you're not a rom com fan, I'm sure you will enjoy something in this movie. The script wasn't amazing but had, as I've said, a lot of funny moments. The themes were many and meaningful, including acceptance, family, adolescence, independence, happiness, love, tradition, and respect. The setting is also hilarious, this massive Greek family in a proud American suburb, and this is explored more so than in the first film. I really enjoyed this film's comedic value. This film is mainly comedy and family, and it certainly entertained me. No Oscars here, but the primary purpose was to entertain, so that's ok I guess. I've always particularly enjoyed Lainie Kazan and Michael Constantine's performances as Maria and Gus Portokalos, the classic old married couple with no shortage of comedic moments. There are a lot of different sub plots and character arcs in this film for lots of different characters, but on the whole they were balanced fairly well. Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Elena Kampouris, Rita Wilson, Lainie Kazan, Michael Constantine, John Stamos, Andrea Martin, and Alex Wolff. And there aren't a lot of well-known Greek actors, but here they are none the less. The cast isn't very well known because there was one main criteria to be in this movie to be Greek. This wasn't an Oscar winning film or an action blockbuster, but it was a beautiful story about family and its importance. Moments where you cry, laugh, or just reminisce at. One thing I can say about this romantic comedy is that it had a lot of beautiful moments. ![]() I'm not saying this movie is bad, but it's just unnecessary. They struggled to find another wedding to put on to the extent that they gave an existing married couple another wedding. The first movie was a standalone classic, but of course the movie industry had to give the movie another go. ![]() I feel like this movie should never have been made.
