Film #140: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)



Directed by: Joel Zwick



Starring: Nia Vardalos, John Corbett



Greeks are very similar to Italians; massive families, arrogant, eating all the time etc. That is why I like this film, because my family is Italian, I find extra humour in this film than say an English person would.

It reminded me very much of my family and some of the lines on there are usually pointed out at family parties such as my cousin's wedding just gone; old women would try to 'snap [girls] like chickens' because they look to thin, they would eat all the time and there are about a billion of them there, crying at the church and pinning money to the bride.

It's scary how alike it is.

For this special kind of humour that is rarely seen, I like this film and I'll give it:
