Greek. Greek. I mean, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. But in my defence, the last thing my mother said to me was, “I love you” and “I can’t wait to see you in a white dress.” So, Greek, Persian, same diff. No hate mail please (hehe).
So the first movie (2002) was great and the second movie (2016) well, wasn’t but that’s okay. Because even though the humour seemed forced and the acting was awkward, it was still funny and relatable to people with similar families. Like, if I had a penny for every time my parents have irritated, embarrassed and hinted for me to get married… well, I wouldn’t be blogging. Hahahoheha I’m joking don’t leave!
Ok so back to the review, there was nothing fresh about the second film. Same jokes, same character, same stereotypes, same errything meaning it wasn’t spectacular but as already mentioned, and I’m sure you agree, because the first film was so amazing, a second movie basically imitating it can’t be that bad of a thing.
Watch if you really must or just pay my parents a visit.
PS thoughts on the oh-so-blatant photoshopped poster?
2.5/5
The first one was a surprise hit, and we loved it. We still watch it occasionally. Yes, the second one was pretty much the same…and a little strained, but it was still a fun couple of hours.

Spot on review, I completely agree.
Nia is slim in real life so why they had to give her super model proportions on the cover is beyond me…
