My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)


A young Greek woman falls in love with a non-Greek and struggles to get her family to accept him while she comes to terms with her heritage and cultural identity.

Likable romantic comedy is successful drawing its humor from the clash of cultural differences, but also helped by a good lively cast.

Halliwell**: "Warm and lively comedy that is just saved from its reliance on stereotyped characters and situations by its generous humanity."

Maltin**1/2: "Amiable comedy...slight, predictable, and sometimes broad, but entertaining..."
