My Big Fat Greek Wedding (DVD)
Love is here to stay… so is her family. Toula Portokalos lives in a Chicago suburb with her very Greek parents who promote three traditional values: marry a Greek boy, have Greek babies and feed everyone. So when Toula falls in love with a non-Greek vegetarian, she struggles to get her family to accept him. As Toula plans a big wedding with her eager fiancé, she learns to come to terms with her rich heritage, her cultural identity and her meddlesome but truly lovable family. Based on the one-woman show by Nia Vardalos. ]]>

Review

Like Vardalos and Corbett, who play their roles with vibrant charm, the film, directed by Joel Zwick, is heartfelt and hilarious in ways you can’t fake. It’s a keeper. –Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

There’s such a good-natured heart beating beneath the cliches that it’s easy to appreciate the film’s willingness to poke gentle fun without a whiff of nastiness or judgment. –Paula Nechak, Seatlle Post- Intelligencer
