Movie: My Big Fat Greek Wedding




My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8

Genre: Chick-flick, family (yeah…this movie has a lot of family…just sayin’), comedy

Primary actors: A lot of Greek people…

Length: Two hours

Time period: Present. Or maybe the 80s? Or 90s? Hereabouts.

Year it came out: 2002

My overall opinion: I had very high hopes for this movie considering how popular it is, but was a little disappointed. The comedy wasn’t bad, indeed, the movie overall wasn’t bad. But I didn’t LOVE it or find it super outstanding. It was good. It wasn’t awesome. And I don’t desperately want to watch it again. However, I’m glad I did see it once – and while I’d say that you don’t really need to see it, you probably won’t hate it. Unless you hate chick-flicks. Then, never mind.

Probably not my fave chick-flick either, Charity. It's cute though and I like the crazy-ness of the family. Kind of reminds me of Janice Thompson's cute rom-coms. :)

Love this movie! It reminds me SO much of my dad's side of the family...they're Cuban and it can get so crazy! :)

I too am glad I saw it once, but that was enough. I just felt this complete lack of development for John Corbett's character -- he's a nice guy, he's always been a nice guy, he'll always be a nice guy, and that's all there was to him. But it was pleasantly diverting.
