My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

You can rarely create the magic of a unique type of movie. And they don't here.

"Ian and I are just looking for time to ourselves." Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos)My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 would be hard-pressed to outdo its original from 14 years ago (the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time), and it doesn't.

I saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 last night at a screening last night and was apprehensive about going but so glad I went! It was a great silly date/family movie that I really think out-did the original and was a great reminder that sequels can revive the energy and feeling of the first film without relying on the same jokes, and storyline.

From comedic standpoint, MY BIG FAT Greek WEDDING 2 is not as strong and definitely as effective as the first film which gave Nia Vardalos her Oscar nomination for best original screenplay category. But this sequel does have enough family antics and lovey-dovey romance to keep the fans from wondering why they're not enjoying this as much as they had hoped.

Greetings again from the darkness. It's been 14 years since the Portokolas family took over movie theatres, the box office, and casual conversation in most every social setting.

If you are Greek you'll get it, if you are not you'll learn! This is one of the best sequels ever made for a comedy.

I can't believe we waited this long to revisit this amazing collection of characters. When the original came out, they were like a refreshing storm, giving us a funny but insightful look at another world, yet it had enough commonalities with most of us.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, the sequel to the 2002 highly successful hit comedy is finally here with the whole family returning for another wedding. Like most belated comedy sequels, i wasn't expecting a whole lot from this film, i expected it to play off what made the first film successful and be relatively average.

Dear Chicago dwelling Toula (Nia Vardalos) has been happy since her first Big Fat Greek Wedding to Ian (John Corbett). They have one daughter, Paris, who is a senior in high school and is pulling away from Toula farther every day.
