Not a bad movie! There are some definately funny parts, but it wasn't the best romantic comedy I've ever seen. The chemistry among the actors could have been better, and that would have improved the film.
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time! The film weaves the story of a young Greek girl who seeks to find love and happiness. She maneuvers her way out of the family restaurant business and finds a boyfriend. The movie is filled with many jokes related to the Greek heritage and this woman's large Greek family. My favorite joke is regarding her father's use of Windex to heal cuts, wounds, and aching joints. A wonderfully funny and romantic comedy -- buy it today, you won't be sorry!
DVD must have. One of my most favorite romantic comedy movies. Good and Happy ending. Lots of funny scenes. My family loves to watch this movie over and over. We have it now as a part of our personal DVD collection.
My favorite movie ever. The first one I bought was in VCR format and I didn't realize that was what I was buying. I then purchased the DVD format and I watch it frequently. My daughter watches it too and can recite word for word when Toula's mom Maria is telling Gus her husband off when Toula wants to go back to school. It's hysterical.
I love this movie because its so wonderful it is one of five movies i can watch over and over without getting bored. I love romantic movies that no matter what the two people individuals stay together. In this movie the character toula is greek and the middle child. Her culture like others require her to finish highschool and find a greek husband and have greek children. Toula finished high school but didnt find a husband. in the meantime she work in her fathers diner. She decided to do something that most greek women are forbbided to do and thats go to college, after that her life changes and she meets Ian. Ian is not greek, so there are obstacles.I decided to buy it because i constantly saw it on tv and scenes were taken out, I like to watch all the scenes its more exciting that way. I recommended this movies to all of my friends and most of them loved it but not as much as me
Brand new, perfect condition as promised, speedy delivery, the price was right...excellent seller! Brand new, perfect condition as promised, speedy delivery, the price was right...excellent seller!
I love this movie. It has so many perspectives and is so funny at the same time. Not only is it about 2 people coming from 2 different backgrounds and over coming the obstacles they encounter to make their relationship work, but it is also about the incredible growth and exploration of one woman who not only finds love and happiness but learns who she is and at the same time managing to maintain the relationships of those who are not use to her being her own person.
Love this flick. The disk came in exellent condition and I really enjoy watching this movie. I would reccommend this movie to others who like these kind of movies.
I saw this several years ago.... so decided to buy it on ebay and watch it again..... Even tho it has no "big-name" actors, it is an A+, 5 star movie that will warm your heart and keep you laughing for days after each viewing! Good, clean entertainment for your own big, fat fam!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - EASY transaction, just what I was looking for. Thank you. I had this movie in VCR form and I have about worn it out. DVD much easier to take with me and takes less storage space. Movie is a classic love story. My favorite.
I think this movie; "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is terrific. This is not a formulaic romantic comedy. The leading characters, Toula and Ian like each other right away, and they tell each other so. The film takes its time, and we get the pleasure of seeing Toula and Ian fall in love instead of having to assume it somehow happens off camera. This movie isn’t only funny but really hits home for those of us that are 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation immigrants. Greek or otherwise, this movie is a real 10 for me!
I saw this movie at the theatre on the opening day...What was extra funny was that it was while I was on vacation in Mexico...If you have seen the movie you will know that there is subtitles translating the Greek into English...In Mexico...There was subtitles in Spanish tranlating the English ...for the entire movie. It was just crazy!!! So, I need to watch it again without words all over the screen!!! And, I do buy movies that I like and will watch again and again!!!
this movie is funny really funny. At first i thought this movie was going to be a chick flick but it was not. The funniest character in my opinion is the father i use windex for so many more things thanks to him.
If you come from an ethnic family you will relate and laugh. I highly doubt any culture uses Windex the way Toula's dad does. Otherwise the bi-culture stereotypes are a riot and nif you drive through any ethnic neighbourhood you'll see that the movie does not lie. Lighthearted, fun but also deep. Give this the viewing it deserves.
I love Greece, and all of the humor that the movie displayed on Greece was rather funny. The movie has some unforgettable one liners that will be quoted for years. It was a tremendous love story, because it portrayed characters that would do anything for their relationships to work, and were willing to adjust. Even the Father in the story was willing to let go of his Daughter and allow her, her wings to fly, and discover new life horizons. I loved it. "See, thats Greek there you go."
I like the movie, and I wanted to own it. It plays well, and I enjoyed watching it. The movie played well and I didn't have any problems with it. It was a great buy and I was glad that everything went smoothly and everything worked out well.
GOOD COMEDY. BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I MISSED THE MOVIE WHEN IT WAS PLAYING AT THE LOCAL THEATERS. WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE. SAW IT LISTED ON EBAY AT A DECENT PRICE ANDS BOUGHT IT AND ENJOYED IT.
I had the opportunity to see this video on my on Demand cable. I, being a waitress for over 33 years, in Greek Restaurants, could relate to the movie. I have had the opportunities to be included in many Greek Traditions and yes their childrens dating options were viewed as strictly greek add no other nationality. So this movie is one that I felt the need to add to my growing collection. When I saw this movie being offered and seeing that the price was absolutely wonderful, I could not resist purchasing and being able to preserve this wonderful video into my library. To buy anything from EBay has become a major way of my new and improved shopping habits. I am a true fan of Ebay and will continue to be so for the rest of my life.
