Pros: Very funny, entertaining movie.
Cons: Some people may be offended by some things in the movie.
Summary: The one theater around here regularly doesn’t get movies. Some of the ones that never made it here have been movies I really wanted to see. I get really annoyed when this happens. I had to go an hour away to Columbus to see One Hour Photo ...

Pros: good acting, sweet story, good comedy moments
Cons: lack of DVD special features
Summary: Cultural humor can be a dicey subject. Quite often, even when there is humor to be found at a difference in cultures, there’s a tendency in Hollywood to exaggerate it to the point of being unbelievable.Fortunately, that didn’t ...

Pros: Makes you laugh without becoming crude.
Cons: Gets a little stereo typical.
Summary: This movie is great to watch at anytime. My sister and I watch it almost every time we are together. It's sort of a tradition of ours. There is an abundance of laughter sure to come your way when you indulge your senses in this cornucopia of humor. ...

Cons: mild profanity and crudeness
Summary: My friend and I went on a bus trip to Niagara Falls the other day, and on the way home, they showed us a movie, which was a new experience for us though we’ve gone on half a dozen of these trips. We speculated as to what movie would be shown - I hoped ...

Pros: Vardalos' makeover.
Cons: Not funny.
Summary: The 2002 romantic comedy My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding was one of the surprise hits of that year. Introducing the relatively unknown comedic actress, Nia Vardalos, the film earned a lot of acclaim as a feel-good tribute to ethnic Greek traditions. ...

Pros: Humorous and enjoyable plot. Highly entertaining.
Cons: A few small detail are not revealed
Summary: I have trouble believing that some people aren't crazy about this movie, but at least I know I like it. This movie was born out of a play that Nia Vardalos wrote and starred in, which I haven't seen, but if it inspired this it's gotta be pretty good. ...

Pros: Nia Vardalos, story, rest of the cast, almost everything
Cons: time length (too short) and not enough of the family (wanted a little more)

Pros: Funny, sweet, excellent light entertainment
Cons: Characters somewhat stereotypical, plot rather predictable
Summary: Featuring a cast of people I'd never heard of (apart from co-star John Corbett, who I knew from Northern Exposure), this movie was one I'd loved in the cinema. Having just watched it again on DVD, I'm glad to say that it has made the journey to the small ...

Pros: Unless you have absolutely no sense of humor you will laugh.
Cons: The movie is nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is.
Summary: So I finally got around to seeing My Big Fat Greek Wedding in May 2003, more than a year after this already reached the status of cult classic movie was released. Yes, I admit that I managed to avoid this movie while seeing unfunny crap like I Spy. So...

Pros: Cute, happy and lots of fun.
Cons: Seriously over-rated.
Summary: My Big Fat Greek Wedding relies on the movie requirement that has existed since the beginning of time. In that people of Other Cultures are comedy in themselves.
Having started with that oddly bitter introduction, My Big Fat Greek...

Pros: Finally, a film that shows that love can overcome a lot without being crass.
Cons: Ok, so it's a simple little movie about love. There's nothing wrong with that.
Summary: Very rarely does that gem appear in Hollywood -- a little independent comedy that turns out to be both funny and smart without having to resort to low humor to make you laugh. This one grew by word of mouth to hit success by being a well-made...

Pros: If you’re Greek, you know most of this is not an exaggeration.
Cons: Again, if you’re Greek, you know most of this is not an exaggeration.
Summary: My first concern about seeing this movie was, will I , as a Greek, be offended? The answer to that is NO.
I went to see this movie with the family, including my mother who came straight from the Motherland. My mother found this movie very...
