Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) is an unmarried thirty-year-old who lives in Chicago and works in her father's Greek restaurant. When she meets and falls for high school teacher Ian Miller (John Corbett), a quick makeover and some careful manoeuvring is all it takes for the pair to start dating. But Toula's parents, Gus and Maria, are shocked to discover that Ian isn't Greek and begin putting obstacles in the couple's path. Review: My Big Fat Greek Wedding - I recently bought this DVD for a friend for their birthday so have not watched this copy. But have seen the film several times and will be purchasing one in the near future for myself as it is a wonderfully light-hearted "feel good" film of which there seem to be so few of nowadays. It is another example of one of those highly successful low budget films full of good humour which you just can't help laughing at and is a gem of a film. It is EXTREMELY well acted and magnificently cast which no doubt is a major factor in making it the success it is. The emphasis is very much upon a Greek family living in the USA. The new world is embraced but everything good is derived from their Greek culture and heritage (according to the Father!) Without spoiling the plot or storyline for anyone, there is a scene with a family get together and one person is introduced to them. The Aunt invites them to dinner and is advised that the person "Don't eat meat". This is repeated out loud by the whole gathering causing an audible silence in the room and to which she simply replies, "that's OK we'll have lamb!" ??? Lol! If you are feeling a little down in the dumps, this cannot fail to cheer you up. The only tears in this film are of laughter! Needless to say the delivery was on time and in good condition. Another successful desertcart purchase. Review: Funny film - Very funny film , poignant too , if you have seen the others you'll know what to expect.. Buy it , watch it , feel good ..😊

Superb film!
You don't need to be Greek in this awesome comedy to enjoy the laughs! Granted, some of the gags and jokes make sense a bit more if you are, but the stereotype being mocked here is found in all cultures. I have Asian, Middle Easter and African friends and colleagues that LOVED this film and keep referring to it time and time again even more than a decade later! Some of the characters depicted in this film are just typically Greek - "what you mean you are vegetarian?". "Ah, OK, I make lamb then!".

Great comedy, but bit of a stereotype!
This is one of my favourite films. It's witty, the characters are lovable, the storyline sweet. But on watching it again, I realised that it relies on stereotyping, turning characters into caricatures. My daughter loved it. She doesn't get distracted by details like I do! Maybe the Greek Americans of Chicago are like the film depicts them. Nia Vardalos has done well overall. And if you like this film, don't miss out the next one where she becomes a tour guide in Greece! It circulates under two titles but is the same film.
