svensk-fiolspel I can't believe the awful reviews I've read for this movie. It doesn't revolutionize cinema or anything, but it's fun, it's funny, it's heartfelt, and it's definitely enjoyable even if you've already seen the original. As for everyone saying that it borrows too much from the first film, I imagine these are exclusively professional movie critics who *just* re-watched it prior to viewing the sequel - I don't know about you, but personally, I don't think I even remember half of what happened in the first movie. I mean, it came out 15 years ago for goodness' sake! Anyhow, as an immigrant myself (not from Greece but still), I definitely recognized my family in theirs and found that the updated, 2017 version was thoroughly sweet, funny and enjoyable.Happy viewing!

Petros Khazoum An amazing sequel to the previous 2002 movie.As a Greek-American living in Greece I can relate to these events from stories I have been told by my "Yiayia".Hilarious plot.The interference of new technology adds a great taste of modernity in the movie.On-point jokes and amazing stereotypical Greek characters.

SnoopyStyle Toula (Nia Vardalos) is still smothered by her large Greek family in Chicago. She has somehow ended up working back at the diner. Her husband Ian (John Corbett) is the principal at the school. Their daughter Paris is embarrassed and overwhelmed by her noisy family. She is considering moving away for college. Toula's father insists on finding a connection to Alexander the Great. In the process, he discovers his marriage certificate is missing the priest's signature.The humor of the original has a nice charm. Nia has pushed the writing in this movie more towards TV sitcom. The original charm has become cheesy. The premise to make another wedding is artificial at best. The daughter story should be the center this time but Nia insists on making her character the lead. She simply doesn't have the romantic drama. There is an easier way to make a fun comedy out of this franchise but this is not the way.

SquigglyCrunch My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 follows our main characters from the previous movie when they learn that their parents weren't officially married, and how they go about doing this. I have nothing good to say about this movie. Most everything was average, but there were a few things that stood out as exceptionally bad. To start, the movie advertises itself as a comedy, yet it fails to be funny. The parents were minor characters in the previous movie, so we got only a little bit of their humor every once in a while, and thus the humor never got old. But in this movie they take center stage, and they are boring. The whole joke becomes "they have an accent. Ha ha funny, right?" Most of the jokes from the previous movie aren't even incorporated. Occasionally we might get something, but it was already stale in the first movie, so it doesn't work anymore. Every other attempt at humor was often so far fetched it just didn't work, or just so cringey that it was hard to laugh through the disgusted face already spread across your face. Comedic references to the previous movie were made as well, but they were often much less original and simply existed as a reference. Moreover, they were often very forced scenes, again for the sake of a reference. Also, there's a daughter in this movie. I don't know why she's there, she starts out as the central conflict, but I guess when time restraints came in that part just ended and the main plot started. She acts all moody at first and hates her family and stuff, then without the usual formulaic scene where she gets over it and loves her family she just starts loving them anyway. There's this sudden shift from hate to love, and it's never explained and comes completely out of nowhere. Why? Because the movie couldn't balance two conflicts at once and time restraints. That's what I think, anyway. In fact, all the characters suck. The plot is made out to be a huge deal by these people, when it quite simply isn't. And the ending is so stupidly forced. It doesn't make any sense, but simply exists for the sake of following the cliché formula of wedding movies. It tries to force tears or at least some kind of feeling, yet it gives the audience no reason to get invested in any of these characters. The only feeling this movie induced was boredom. Yeah, there's nothing better than an unfunny, boring comedy, right? Wrong. Overall this is just a really bad movie. There's nothing good about it, but there's plenty to hate. The comedy isn't funny, and the characters are stupid and underdeveloped. And to top it off, it's boring. In the end I wouldn't recommend this movie. Just watch the first one again, or something else entirely.
