You won't be disappointed!
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
With an extraordinary plot, tons of references. It's a good sequel for an excelent movie, in a world where sequels of comedies are the worst possible.
This was a sad movie to watch because it had all the elements of the first movie -- a great cast and incessant mockery of all the values and traditions of the Greek community -- without the tastefulness. Know where to draw the line.The introduction of the next generation was sweet and well done, but Tula's regression into nerdy cluelessness was too much. All the outrageous choices Maria made in preparation for the major event in the movie (no spoilers) was too much. And please don't get me started on Thia Voula -- who I REALLY LOVED in the first movie! Way to destroy your best characters, Nia!If you're going to put Stamos and Wilson into a movie, give them better lines....Corbett is more the "suburban hero" this time around, which I would have also held out for in his place, because who wants to be linked to the sad sad Toula in the sequel after being one of the hotties in Sex in the City?Basically, I loved the first movie and will spend the same number of years between the first and second movies trying to forget that the sequel ever existed.If you haven't seen Nia's other movies -- which are awesome and DON'T have sequels -- watch "I Hate Valentine's Day" (also with Corbett) and "My Life In Ruins" (Also with Wilson). Nia... I love you and think you're very funny and talented. Don't make sequels.
The first movie had culture clash, great comedy, and most importantly a major transformation of the lead character. The sequel is also funny and full of awkward too-close family moments, but lacks a major transformation (although Vardalos does looks quite fetching in the restaurant date scene). I would have done a rewrite. Have the mother insist on getting remarried in Greece (the family being more successful and wealthier to afford this). While there in the old country, the daughter (Paris) would appreciate Greek history and culture and see close Greek family ties as being "normal" and maybe even ogling a few cute Greek boys. She would then decide forego NYU and instead attend school in Chigago close to home, thus growing to accept the love of her family in a tear-jerking moment of reciprocated love. That would have been a more transformative and much happier ending to this sequel.
I am from Colombia, and two years ago I went to Greece, lived with two incredible Greek Families, learned as much as I could about Greek Culture, I fell in love of this amazing country and the kindest people I've ever met... Now, I saw at this movie in the list and I never doubted of click on and start watching it.. Only if you are a foreigner who visited and explored the Greek culture somehow you will be able to feel closer to those amazing people... watch the movie took me back to the best two months I have had abroad of my country... listening to the Greek accent, the happiness and union of Greek families, the pita- gyros somewhere and some Greek words that I still remember;all that little stuff relives feelings and memories I will never forget... Thank You Greece!!!
