Synopsis

From an early age, Nia is mortified by her old-fashioned Greek family's patriotic, over-the-top ways. But, when she falls in love and marries a non-Greek teacher, Thomas Miller, her family eventually learns to accept him and Nia learns to accept her family's meddlesome ways. As Nia and Thomas return from their honeymoon to begin their new life together, they find that this new life includes her overzealous, extended family.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
mycatslyone The movie was funny & so is this sitcom. There are some changes but you live with them because there's so many of the original cast members that it just doesn't matter. For instance, Toula is now called Nia, Ian is now called Thomas & is NOT John Corbett (because he had other obligations), Joey Fatone's goatee is gone so now he just looks like a pudgy little boy. And Nia & Thomas live across the street from Dancing Zorba's instead of right next door to her family.The DVD has all the episodes on it & it's fun to watch them all without commercial interruption. But you cannot skip around to the episode you want to see. You must sit through them all or just fast forward.Note to Louis Mandylor Lovers: The next-to-the-last episode is where Nick moves out of the house & gets his own apt. Although he kind of plays a bit ditzy at times in the sitcom, he didn't in the movie. This episode is a fun one to watch & showcases him quite well.
msl-d My Big Fat Greek Life. More like My big fat greek WASTE OF TIME! I watched the pilot of this show and it was the cheeziest, stupidest, it's got a half a season to get better show. Mind you, I did not see the movie yet. A couple days ago, I did get the chance to view My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and I believed the show a little over-rated. Nia Vardalos did not perform well at all (not even her narration was good). I would not call this show good at all.
Enigma780 Wow, this is by far the worst sit-com I've ever seen...in fact, I couldn't even watch more than the first 7 minutes before I wanted to kill myself. The acting was poor, the writing abysmal, and execution absurd. This show represents the worst in "comedy." It needs to be canceled.
francodomenico 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!
