My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
A rare breath of fresh air!
So rarely does a movie with such honest and light hearted humor reach the mainstream public, never mind achieve box office success. My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of those very rare movies.
Born of a Greek father and non-Greek mother, I can honestly attest to many of the characters and scenes that are portrayed in the movie. It brings back distant memories that suddenly came back sharply into focus: - the feeling of being out-of-step with my non-Greek peers at school who could not spell or pronounce my last name - the acerbically funny and crazy comments from aunts, uncles and cousins - the madness of family get-togethers (which I can now look back upon with a humorous eye)
A very special thanks goes to Nia Vardalos for writing this movie in the first place, the director for recruiting such great acting talent such as Michael Constantine and Lainie Kazan, and for sharing her and many others' life experiences using a wonderfully funny and illustrative movie.
Efcharisto!

The first time I saw this movie on television, I was stunned that any Director would put his/her name on the credits for, and even admit having directed, such an incredibly poor film. The second time I saw this movie on television, I had to change the channel to avoid the odeur de ordures putréfiées.
I agree with Jason Atwood : this is wonderful fodder for Mystery Science Theater 3000. Hoping to see Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo all over this one!
