    My Big Fat Greek Wedding - a review

    Holy mother of Windex, I can't remember the last time I was crying throughout a film from the laughter coming out of my mouth and gut. Even when I saw the punchline coming a mile away, it's the characters are written to be so internally consistent that it may be even funnier knowing what's coming. There's this instant familiarity in this film that engaged me, and had me almost nearly rolling down the aisle (I did have an aisle seat) at some of the utter zaniness from the humor. And furthermore, there's some real heart felt connections/emotions and side stories of going after what you want and still being able to maintain a balance between your family background/past, and who you'll become in the future.

    Sure, it's not one of those meaty films that make you all introspecty-like, but for almost 2 hours, I was transported into a story of a culture clash romance/marriage that results in so many laughs/minute that I was totally entertained by the film, and so was the audience that saw it with me.

    I give it 4 stars,or a grade of A.

          A very fun movie...though I admit that the overexposure that followed it ruined it just a bit. Still, the family especially was great and was something almost everyone can relate to!

            What a pleasant surprise! This warm, funny, sometimes-a-bit-too-close-to-home film has come out of nowhere to gross over $230 million dollars in the U.S. alone. What did it cost to make? $15-20 million? Nope, try

            Anyone seen this?
            It's getting a lot of comparisons to My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Some of the comparisons are justified (a look inside the customs of a minority family in present times) but I thought it was a much better film. Better written and overall much funnier.

            DVD recommendations for wife....
            by Sonnie Parker
            I need some help fellows. My wife gave me a wake up call, so to speak, when she made a statement that I rarely get DVD's that she cares anything about. Problem is she can't really tell me what she wants.

            She did mention she'd like to have Sweet Home Alabama and My Big Fat Greek Wedding...
