Diagonaldi Very well executed

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Dee Mou 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.

Dragoneyed363 I had only recently seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding for the very first time and found it hilarious, enjoyable, charming fun. Every character fills up the screen with joyous energy and tons of charisma in all their lines and the movie altogether worked as being more than just a Rom-Com. Same thing goes for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. Nothing feels like it has taken too long to come to screen. Immediately I was along for the ride as the characters began being reintroduced. It all just clicked and worked and became very enjoyable for the whole movie.I will say, I was not impressed with the deliverance by Elena Kampouris. Her portrayal as the daughter was one of the only things I found not bad, but certainly didn't help the movie. Just any time she came on screen it was kinda meh. Also, the movie does get a little ahead of itself at times and rushed, and overall the first was a more genuine effort, but in it's fullness, this movie works completely as a sequel and stand alone work, and is on par with the first in terms of sheer enjoyment.Nia Vardalos is believable and likable as usual, and wrote the movie well. What I found most enjoyable was that Andrea Martin got a bigger role than the previous movie. Any scene she comes onto she lights it up and immediately makes it better. I equally enjoyed all the family members in the first, but Aunt Voula was the shining star of this movie, for me at least. I highly enjoyed seeing more of her.This was a complete success. 14 years later and this movie is as welcomed and comfortable as if it came out a year behind it's predecessor...

Brian S Whilst not unwatchable, it is mildly amusing if you tune out, it really is just a pale follow up to the first film. Does not really have a story as such and don't expect wit, more half wit actually. Which is probably what you will feel like after you watch it, as in, why did I bother. The actors are all quite good and professional but the script and direction are woeful. No real plot no real story just a bunch of scenes with caricatures of Greek families by people who probably don't know any Greek families. It is supposed to be a comedy but really I did not find much in the way of belly laughs so cannot recommend it.Try another instead.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of an extended Greek family living in Chicago, that have to arrange a wedding for the parents because their wedding papers from fifty years ago are not in order. I still fondly remember the first film, which was so funny. The second film is fun as well, with a lot of jokes that made me giggle. The mother being on strike is funny and empowering at the same time. The subplot about the daughter is heartwarming, and I can hardly believe the transformation of her appearance for the prom!As a standalone comedy, this is funny and entertaining. As a sequel to a highly successful comedy, it probably doesn't match the first one. I still enjoyed it.
