    I LOVE this movie. It's sweet, realistic, and I love that there wasn't the usual rom-com conflict between the two people in the relationship. It was so refreshing not to sit through another conflict/misunderstanding or whatever that separates the two, then one has to make some grand gesture or something.... blah. They dated, they fell in love, and the conflict was a realistic pushback from a traditional family that eventually made it work. (chef's kiss)

    This movie is a masterpiece! It's one of my favourites. As an italian, I see so much of my family in Tula's family and I think that's the magic of it. Everybody can see something of their own family/culture in it

    As a Greek boy, 99% of that movie is accurate and fantastic. As a Greek Orthodox Christian, I’ve seen her speak at FDF, an event the church runs. It’s fantastic that it’s box office run made more money after its debut, because we greeks are a late people. We don’t show up to things on time.

    I liked how when Endgame came out, specialists said it would be impossible for the movie to make so much money in a single weekend, because there wouldn’t be enough screens. But then it broke the records because cinemas where taking screens from other films to make room for the demand. Maybe it could be a topic for the channel to explore this kind of incident and other movies that did the same.

      The movie was good, but they needed more funds to give it that much advertisement. So that's why they didn't know it was remotely good before watching it.
      It was a mix between the movie being good and the fact everybody loved John Corbett due to his character in Sex and the City. Also, America has a large amount of mixed families, half immigrants, half white americans.

    "The original “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a fluke. A charming, warmhearted fluke, but a fluke nonetheless. It was broad and sitcom-y but it resonated with a wide array of moviegoers, despite the peculiarities of its cultural specificity, and it made a mind-boggling $369 million worldwide in 2002."
