Consensus: Though it sometimes feels like a television sitcom, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is good-hearted and lovable.

Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: “Nice Greek girls are expected to do three things: Marry Greek boys, make Greek babies and feed everyone until the day we die.” Toula Portokalos Everyone in the Portokalos family worries about... “Nice Greek girls are expected to do three things: Marry Greek boys, make Greek babies and feed everyone until the day we die.” Toula Portokalos Everyone in the Portokalos family worries about Toula (NIA VARDALOS). Still unmarried at 30-years-old, she works at Dancing Zorba’s, the Greek restaurant owned by her parents, Gus (MICHAEL CONSTANTINE) and Maria (LAINIE KAZAN) and smells like garlic bread. Vowing that she’d rather stab herself in the eye with a red-hot poker than work in the restaurant for the rest of her life, Toula is ready for a change. Unfortunately, the rest of her family is not. After taking a job at her aunt’s travel agency, she falls in love with Ian Miller (JOHN CORBETT), a high school teacher who is tall, handsome and definitely not Greek. Toula isn’t sure which will be more upsetting to her old-fashioned father, that Ian is a Xeno (foreigner) or that he’s a vegetarian. But none of it matters once he asks her to marry him. Toula knows that if he can pass muster with her crazy relatives and get baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church...their big fat Greek wedding, including one powder blue limousine, two ice sculptures and ten bridesmaids in turquoise dresses, will be a piece of cake, five layers high with a plastic staircase and a fountain of champagne. -- © 2002 IFC Films [More]
