A good-natured but self-indulgent camp comedy lacking in originality, character and comic timing.

Full marks for trying a radical change of direction, and nul points for inflicting the ghastly mess on us

The film's real joy comes in its camp performance pieces, which outrageously poke fun at the guilty pleasures of musical theatre.

The movie does offer some genuine guffaws as it trips over itself to be all things to all people.

Vardalos is a much better actress than she is a writer, and the patchy script has a desperate, thrown-together feeling to it, as if she had to scramble to come up with something after Wedding's gargantuan success.

There's some fun to be had here, but not quite enough, and the film is burdened by its tired message that drag queens are human beings too.

If you find meticulously staged, passionately sung anthems about love, beauty, truth, and joy to be tiresome, then don't drop a dime on this film. Otherwise GO!

“Big Fat Greek Wedding’s” huge success was a surprise to me and to Hollywood. It won’t have the mass appeal and will make only a fraction of the dough—but this film I get.

Nia Vardalos should have cut right to the chase and named the characters Lucy and Ethel.

Connie and Carla reminded me of two Whoopi Goldbergs in Sister Act, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.
