The women of the Portokalos family are steeped in family
tradition. They are expected to marry a
Greek man and have Greek children. At
the ripe old age of 30, Toula Portokalos
(Nia Vardalos) has failed by doing neither of these things. She works at the family restaurant and really
has no relationship prospects at the moment.
When she comes across Ian Miller (John Corbett), however, things change
for her. They quickly fall in love and
get engaged, but there’s one problem.
Ian is not Greek. Though he is
baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church, Toula’s family does not take too kindly
to the matrimony and will put every obstacle in the couple’s way before they
walk down the aisle to take their vows. Joel
Zwick’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a
fun, heartwarming film that delivers nonstop laughs. Check this rom com out as soon as you
can.
