Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016) by Andre D — 03 Apr 2016
1st movie was far better and funnier than the 2nd one. I found it amusing that they constantly made references to Greeks being direct descendants of Alexander the Great, which is absurd in this day and age.
Everyone knows that Greek was like the English language back in ancient times. Even the great Athenian orator Demosthenes attested that Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great's father, was not Greek.
It is so funny to hear someone claiming direct blood heritage of ancient peoples. I do however think the movie makes a joke about this when Nia claims she wrote the ancestry letter to her father making him believe he was a direct descendant of Alexander the Great.
Meaning anyone can write or rewrite history - something the Greeks have been known to do for centuries.
