My Big Fat Greek Wedding may be the same old thing, but the charm is there which is why people love these films!!!

Real Rating:

3 Greek Marketplaces

What I Like:

-The cast is all there with this big Greek family, and the charm of this family is all still there, you get what you went to see this film for
-Add to the fact that they are actually in the country of Greece does add a new fresh take on things, the cinematography for this country is great

The So So:

-There were some parts that made me laugh, and some comedic parts that just didn’t do it for me, I guess it is a matter of comedic taste

What I Didn’t Like:

-It is practically the same old story with the same old themes, it added nothing new but age to these characters

Overall:

The reason people love these movies is because of the cultural charm this family brings. In this film, it was no different, and you get what you came for. With all that said, the comedy is inconsistent, you still get the same old story and themes and drama that this family brings. At least they’re in the country of Greece for once, so that gives it a different perspective at least. Regardless, it is good enough, especially for fans, but they are really running out of ideas and probably needs to stop before an Italian family takes over them!!!

(Sidenote: Sisu – This bloody gory film set in World War II, about a prospector fighting against Nazis to keep the gold that he found. There is not too much dialogue, a simple story, and gory action. I mean, in the end, who doesn’t want to see Nazis getting brutally beaten up!!!
