Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016) by Robert N — 09 Apr 2016

I absolutely LOVED this film. In fact, I.

Enjoyed just as much as the first one, if.

Not infinitely more. It wasn't non-stop.

Barrel of laughs, but it managed to keep.

A smile on my face throughout, with plenty.

Of opportunity for a good belly laugh.

At the appropriate times. I honestly feel.

That the film was purposely different.

From its predecessor. It dug deeper, and.

Sought to pull at the heartstrings more.

With its witty, sentimental treatment of.

Family, love, inter-familial relationships.

And the self-sacrifice involved in marriage.

And parenthood. For the "professional".

Critics to say that it "never coalesced.

Into a story with any kind of a purpose".

Is so far removed from the truth, it.

Makes me regard their nose-wrinkling as.

Almost trollish, if not disconnected.

So much of what Hollywood puts out as.

"comedy" that Hollywood lauds.

As praiseworthy is pure, unadulterated.

Trash. At last, we have a film that is.

Authentically funny, unburdened by.

Hollywood's self-serving pessimism.

Vardalos sucessfully reminds us.

Who we are, and where we came from,.

That we are not desert islands,.

But part of a rich, supportive,.

Multi-generational archipelago of Family.
