: My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I never saw this in the theatres, the smash sleeper hit that won America’s heart and wallet. It’s surprisingly good. Light and predictable, but entertaining and fun. The best part was Nia’s sarcastic narration, but unfortunately that was only in a few places: the film needed more of that. The story of two cultures clashing when a Greek girl dares to marry a non-Greek boy is light, and a lot of the humor is repetitive (Gee, the Dad doesn’t like the new son-in-law, who would have thought), but it’s a happy story, wittily told, and I can see why it was such a hit. In fact, I had no interest in the TV show, but I might check it out now.
