My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Critic Reviews

You don't have to be Greek to enjoy My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and that's precisely the point of it.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a very slim movie that succeeds on its own modest terms without pretense or apology. No wonder it's easy to like.

The movie is consistently funny without ever going over the top -- a rarity in movies.

Perfect sleepover movie for tweens (and moms!).

It's greek to me.

Endearing eccentricities, such as Toula's father's improvisational Greek etymologies of words like "kimono" and his reliance on Windex for a range of external-use medicinal purposes, help humanize the characters.

It's funny, it's familiar and you can see a lot of the situations transferring over to your own life.

Vardalos is not a great actress, but she is a likeable one ... John Corbett will never steer you wrong ... a cute premise, but it has all been done before

The family-friendly film avoids pitfalls, but the DVD is skimpy.

...Captures the nature of true romance, with just enough slapstick (a Greek invention) to make you laugh out loud.

Now, Nia Vardalos will jump out of your movie screen or television set...and club you over the head with a bottle of Windex until you give in to her aggressively overbearing humor!

The actors...bring out an attractive, warmhearted simplicity in each character. Above all, they portray a close, loving family, the film's ultimate and lasting virtue.

Es un entranable filme sobre el amor, la familia, las tradiciones, la consecucion de los suenos y la tolerancia.'

A cute little movie whose success proves that wherever they can find it, people will rise up and embrace the most mediocre, bland, and reassuring forms of art.

Almost everyone growing up believes their family must look like "The Addams Family" to everyone looking in... "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" comes from the heart...

On the whole, this film didn't make me laugh much, didn't make me 'aaaaaah' much and didn't give me any more insight into its astronomical popularity.

Although films of this flavor depend primarily on their comic timing to win over an audience, director Joel Zwick finds other outlets of brilliance...

When Vardalos tries to pass one-joke stereotypes and situations as revelatory characterizations and experiences, it simply doesn't achieve anything noteworthy.

Moderadamente divertida, se gana verla, al menos en video, quiza con pitas en vez de pizzas..

My Big Fat Greek Wedding uses stereotypes in a delightful blend of sweet romance and lovingly dished out humor.

There is nothing subtle or original about this film, but it is well-intentioned and cute.

Warm, familiar, not a sharp edge in sight, this movie is built to please.

Twist open the Ouzo! It's time to let your hair down - Greek style. A vibrant whirlwind of love, family and all that goes with it, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a non-stop funny feast of warmth, colour and cringe.

We can see the wheels turning, and we might resent it sometimes, but this is still a nice little picture, made by bright and friendly souls with a lot of good cheer.

Only in the movies can Joey Fatone and Andrea Martin engage in Hellenic dance.
