Toula Portokalos is 30, Greek, and works in her family's restaurant, Dancing Zorba's, in Chicago. All her father Gus wants is for her to get married to a nice Greek boy. But Toula is looking for more in life. Her mother convinces Gus to let her take some computer classes at college (making him think it's his idea). With those classes under her belt, she then takes over her aunt's travel agency (again making her father think it's his idea). She meets Ian Miller, a high school English teacher, WASP, and dreamboat she had made a fool of herself over at the restaurant; they date secretly for a while before her family finds out. Her father is livid over her dating a non-Greek. He has to learn to accept Ian; Ian has to learn to accept Toula's huge family, and Toula has to learn to accept herself.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a simple, funny love story that
is probably more appreciated by the female audience.

Nia Vardalos (the film's writer and star) is Toula Portokalos, a quiet young woman from a family
Zany Greek. As explained in great flashback
introduction, his whole life has been bred to be strictly Greek.
However, it also contains some traditional education that absuridites
I can not understand, though his father the wish that she would adhere a.
Toula education has only allowed her to look forward to one thing in this
point in his life: marrying a good Greek boy and has lots of babies.

This is not something Toula wants here, and, ultimately, the benefits
courage to leave his coat introverted and gradually change itself
in a brave, beautiful woman. She stops working at his family and resturaunts
start taking computer classes at the local university, leading not only his
for a better appreciation for herself, but leads to a job at her aunt the
travel agency where he meets Ian Miller (Jon Corbet), and that is where our story begins
.

Toula and Ian are in love, really far. However, this problem of Toula
mother and father, with his father (Michael Constantine)
be stricter in traditional Greek upbringing of his mother (Lani Kazan), when Ian
proposes to Toula. For Toula's father, is bad enough that
leave the family business to go to school and everything. But it is simply out of the question for him
she marry a non-Greek. Therefore, Toula
is torn between the two. This is a very film in the spirit of films like Bend it Like Beckham and
something like Joy Luck Club to address the roles of tradition
to future generations of immigrants and the possibility and
reason for preserving such traditions.

Of course the film is a film very simple, a simple love story, but a funny
However, one. We see the contrast between the Greek upbringing Toula and Ian
is very quiet, conservative family. Everyone is fantastic in this movie, especially
Lainie Kazan as Toula's mom, Michael Constantine as her father,
and wonderfully hilarious Andrea Martin as Toula
Aunt Voula.

I do not know why so many negative comments for this movie.
I would say that was probably the best film I saw in 2002, and one I've seen
as many times just because a nice little (and fun)
story about a girl in love.
My boyfriend is Greek and I'm not. This movement hit the nail!
All the time I was watching this movie I was thinking this is my life
Oh my God, this is my life. I think the people who have taken this step only evil
comments did not get it, because they do not live in or around the world
a Greek family. There are so many similarities with my family
Novios is almost creepy. For a crash course in
our wedding I told my whole family to see this movie before they came. After the wedding was
all said and done I had so many people from my side of the
family approached me and tell me your right! It's like my
Big Fat Greek Wedding! Especially since we had almost 700 people in our wedding
and everything they did throughout the night is dancing in circles! This is a
lot of fun!

This was the best movie in a long time and nobody knows how this truth
until the film is really living through it.

Frankly, AJH
