As Seen on January 6, 2018
In case you didn’t know, the first rendition of this movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, is one of the highest grossing independent movie of all time. Like so many great movies before it, a great first movie does not guarantee a tolerable sequel. Not every movie can be The Godfather II, Toy Story II, Terminator 2, or Shrek 2 (It’s a great movie and you know it!)

In My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 we meet Tuola and her wild Greek family about 10 years after the last film. Toula and Ian are still married and are struggling to cope with the idea of their only child, Paris, leaving for college soon. Toula’s windex loving dad, Gus, still insists the women in his family need to get married soon because they’re starting to look old. This time his loving ridicule is geared towards Paris and getting her a nice Greek boyfriend. To top it all of, Gus discovers his marriage license to Maria was never signed by the priest and thus begins the second big fat Greek wedding.
Now that you’ve read the synopsis you don’t need to watch the movie.
Shocking I know!
Like many sequels, this film has the same old jokes pointed at or said by different characters. You’ve got the classic, “you’re starting to look old,” Aunt Voula’s weird medical history, windex, brothers and cousins threatening people like they’re mobsters, and creepy, cringe worthy jokes about older women having sex. What could go wrong? Just about everything. As you might have guess, this is one to be missed. I can tell you, I scratched that itch of curiosity and it was not worth it. Run while you have time and watch Terminator 2 again.
