This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

I saw the original film My Big Fat Greek wedding and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the subject of culture shock and had a whale of a time. Then I learned from a friend in the USA that they had made a TV series based on the film. I read about it on imdb and the were a lot of very negative comments about this tv series. No matter, Ithought, I will pursue and buy the dvd which I promptly did. And in truth, I certainly don't regret my purchase.Of course the novelty of the film has worn off by the time we get to look at the series but I found it very pleasant and amusing to watch. Of course I have some minor criticisms, why did they change her name from Toula to Nia, and why wasn't her husband ( the non-greek ) the same man as in the original film. But apart from that, I watched thru the seven episodes of the dvd with a great amount of pleasure and don't understand all these negative criticisms. The actors themselves are an adorable bunch of people and I just love their accents. That alone makes it fun to watch but the plots of each series aren't too bad at all ( of course they're not masterpieces ) but I feel I'll often be putting on this dvd when I need a programme to cheer myself up. So I am giving what I hope to be a very positive review of this series which I think, in addition, will age well in the coming years !

The first show was not that good, as it left a lot to be desired from the original movie. However, if you stick with the series it got better, and I would say that now it is on par with the movie. My wife grew up with Greek friends, and she really enjoys the show as there is a lot of truth in their actions.

Why do they have to take a relatively funny, and successful movie and turn it into "How many one lines can we get in in one show"? They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Most of the cast are lowering the bar quite a bit by just lending themselves to this dribble.

This often happens with a movie follow-up; but the potential is there- particularly, with Nia's performance, and the overall talent-- And, Constantine! He is just wonderful! As an Italian, I can Identify with the whole "Greek-Thing" and it is a sweet,and refreshing look at Ethnicity; so, let's give it a chance.I am the eternal optimist--and look, there are a lot of Italian and Greek actors and actresses that can work in this show--Marina Sirtis-- and perhaps ME! YES!! I would work it, just to be in the same room with Constantine! I was a Child Actor in Italy--Francesco Domenico Lisanti!Now, with Rita Moreno coming aboard--God, I have been in love with her since I first saw a Movie in Italy called "The Ring", about a Mexican-American prizefighter!Nia--and Gang--Hang in there--Greeks are not Quiters! Efharsito!
