Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Michael Ledo While this story follows in line from the first one, it is not so connected that knowledge of the first film is necessary to enjoy this one. The movie starts off with some first person narration by Toula (Nia Vardalos) who realizes she is an over protective mother. Her teen daughter (Elena Kampouris) wants her family to give her space. The other family "crisis" is that her parents discover their wedding certificate wasn't signed, hence the title.The film was hilarious. Andrea Martin looks like she is playing a Second City character. There is some coded adult talk "protect the plucky" and one scene where a couple is interrupted in a car. For the most part, it is family safe. Nia Vardalos also wrote the film. Kudos.Great comedy.

svensk-fiolspel I can't believe the awful reviews I've read for this movie. It doesn't revolutionize cinema or anything, but it's fun, it's funny, it's heartfelt, and it's definitely enjoyable even if you've already seen the original. As for everyone saying that it borrows too much from the first film, I imagine these are exclusively professional movie critics who *just* re-watched it prior to viewing the sequel - I don't know about you, but personally, I don't think I even remember half of what happened in the first movie. I mean, it came out 15 years ago for goodness' sake! Anyhow, as an immigrant myself (not from Greece but still), I definitely recognized my family in theirs and found that the updated, 2017 version was thoroughly sweet, funny and enjoyable.Happy viewing!

Dragoneyed363 I had only recently seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding for the very first time and found it hilarious, enjoyable, charming fun. Every character fills up the screen with joyous energy and tons of charisma in all their lines and the movie altogether worked as being more than just a Rom-Com. Same thing goes for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. Nothing feels like it has taken too long to come to screen. Immediately I was along for the ride as the characters began being reintroduced. It all just clicked and worked and became very enjoyable for the whole movie.I will say, I was not impressed with the deliverance by Elena Kampouris. Her portrayal as the daughter was one of the only things I found not bad, but certainly didn't help the movie. Just any time she came on screen it was kinda meh. Also, the movie does get a little ahead of itself at times and rushed, and overall the first was a more genuine effort, but in it's fullness, this movie works completely as a sequel and stand alone work, and is on par with the first in terms of sheer enjoyment.Nia Vardalos is believable and likable as usual, and wrote the movie well. What I found most enjoyable was that Andrea Martin got a bigger role than the previous movie. Any scene she comes onto she lights it up and immediately makes it better. I equally enjoyed all the family members in the first, but Aunt Voula was the shining star of this movie, for me at least. I highly enjoyed seeing more of her.This was a complete success. 14 years later and this movie is as welcomed and comfortable as if it came out a year behind it's predecessor...

mike48128 Probably Michael Constantine's last film, as he is 88 and looks it. Most of the other cast (Including Lannie Kazan) look pretty good after 14 years, considering. "Ya-Ya" (the old Greek Mama) would be 100 by now, if the timeline was accurate. Most of the original cast has returned. Almost as much fun as the first one. It's ironic that "Tula" is back, working at the family's "Dancing Zorba" Restaurant again. A very old comedic theme that has been used in so many old sit-coms and old "B" movies: Mom and Dad (in this case) have to get their marriage "renewed" because the original certificate wasn't signed by the minister or the Justice of the Peace. I first thought this was going to be about daughter "Paris" getting married, but she is still a graduating senior in high school. Like revisiting old friends, very comforting but unless you saw the first one, you won't have a clue about what's going on, and probably won't enjoy it. The new "Bundt" cake scene is hilarious as the pan(s) are turned into large wedding decorations with flowers. Yes, those are all Nia's relatives as extras. The same "storefront set" is used again, which may (or may not) now be an actual Greek restaurant? Also it's the same church? Fans of the 2002 movie will love it.
