stephen b I can appreciate the quirky humor which does lead to a few laugh out loud moments. It just wasn't enough to make up for a story I couldn't care about. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Brian D 76%. 3/7/25. Hadn't seen rating. Forgot how much of a reject the girl was initially. The family, specifically the father, is very funny. It's not hilarious but it's funny and a good, short film. 4/5 rewatch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Kevin P A very funny and charming rom-com about family and culture clashes. The cast is hilarious and share such great chemistry together. The parents, the aunt, the grandma, and the brother are easily the standouts. The male love interest is refreshingly nice and laidback, and seems to genuinely make the female lead happy and you can see why they end up together (it’s also refreshing to see most of the movie focus on the relationship, rather than stretch out the buildup with inconvenient misunderstandings or blue-balling will they won’t they shenanigans with some false herring romantic rival; helps that the screenplay was directly inspired by the main writer/actress’s actual family upbringing and wedding). The movie is very quotable and I appreciate how the movie subverts some typical rom com cliches (no melodramatic 2nd act breakup; the parents in-laws aren’t cruel, just awkward and even kind of sympathetic at the mercy of the big fat Greek family; even the transformative makeover is done gradually within the female lead’s own agency as a correlation to her gaining confidence at school and becoming more independent from her overbearing family). The Chicago Greektown setting is a nice touch as well. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Minah A Y'all don't even try to diss this movie 😮‍💨 I freaking love my big fat Greek wedding and will shout it from every single rooftop in the world!!!1!1 What I really love about this movie is how relatable it is. Toula is literally me?? I'm not Greek Greek but I'm arab and my family is literally her family if it were in a movie. My family is humongous, patriotic about our home country, and are very very loud. The way toula interacts with her family is just so real and how she's kinda sick and tired of them a lil bit like OMGGG that's so real brah. Hashtag spit your fax babe! One thing I can say tho is that if you can't relate to this movie then it prob won't be your favorite movie everr..my friends who I've peer pressured into watching this movie said they didn't get it and found it boring and they have very small hashtag suburban families so I guess I get why they don't like it but whatevs ig. I love this movie and personally believe that this movie deserved all the rewards and nominations!!! We don't talk about the sequels though. Anywhosen I would actually wanna give a big smooch to everyone involved in this movie cause oh my freaking god I love you all so much. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Diana M I remember us going to the movie theater the year it came out. It was probably the only movie I ran out after watching it for about 45 min.I tried watching it again - still same reaction. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Laura L This great comedy always puts a big smile on my face! In short, the daughter of the Portokal Greek family ("portokal", in Greek, means "orange") marries the son of the Miller American family ("miller" comes also from a Greek word that means "apple"). And as the father of the bride concludes, "Although different, we're all fruits." If I may, I would add that "Although we're all fruits in God's orchard, somehow, some are sweet and others are sour" - just to keep the joyful spirit of the movie. :-) The Greek (Orthodox) wedding tradition is slightly but successfully exaggerated for comedy purposes, but not very far from the truth - please, trust my (Orthodox) word of honor! If you could see me, I'm writing and largely smiling only thinking about this comedy. Enjoy the movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
