Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) by Mark P — 06 Dec 2015

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a great comedy that made me learn a bit about Greek which I never thought would even happen. I've heard about Nia Vardalos for quite a while because of this film, but I never seen her in a film before, so I wouldn't know what to think of her, but in this, she's really good as an actress and a writer.

She's very funny in this and definitely sold it out as a main lead. The chemistry between Toula and Ian is very good and sweet enough for me to buy them as a couple. The family are hilarious to watch, and are the best part of the film which you just want to see more of them.

The way the jokes were executed seem like something from a sitcom show which I'm just expecting a laugh track from it, which the jokes did get a laugh out of me, even if all of the jokes didn't hit bullseye.

You can sort of see where it's gonna go, but the way it's handled is not that bad, and wasn't as mean-spirited as I thought was going to be. Even though My Big Fat Greek Wedding isn't going to be a comedic classic, it's still a hilarious enough film that the whole family would have a great time watching it.
