Nia Vardalos must have used some powerful dark magic to turn this cute but unexceptional movie into the box office juggernaut it became.

They wanted to make My Big Fat Jew Wedding, but some big shot exec was like, "You can't put Jew in a movie title." They decided to go with Greek because what the shit are they gonna do about it, they are still resting on the laurels of a civilization that's been dead for thousands of years.

Take all of the most awkward moments in family get-togethers, cram them into a movie, and you're stuck with this...only you volunteered to watch this. sucker.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a hoot. At times, that is. It may feel limited and out of place most of the movie, but it recooperates and actually pulls off nice laughing routines. Still pretty dull in the eyes of me and several significant others.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding thinks it's a lot funnier than it actually is. Though it has that charm that only a movie about an ugly girl can, it never really is all that good.

Brimming with charm and likeable characters, this is the very meaning of the phrase 'feel-good comedy'. Some of the jokes are a little obvious, and maybe the point that the main character has a big family is a little laboured, but I can forgive the movie that. This proves, even if her other films don't, that Nia Vardalos is a talented lady.

This movie is utterly benign. The dramatic intensity level never rises above about a 1.5 out of 10, conflict and stakes are minimal as can be, everything works out for everyone. Mostly functions as a fluffy cute sort of travelogue into the world of Greek American culture. Can’t say it’s one I’d watch again and again but lord almighty if this didn’t make Star Wars/Harry Potter/LotR money at the box office back in the day!

Really cute and sweet. An adorable mix of all sorts of love, as our leading lady tries to balance the "love of her life" her "love of education and work" and her "love for her parents and (very large) extended family." Well written, well acting, and quite funny!

I saw it. Its decent. Its not going to be something that I am going to stop everything and watch ever again. If I can find something else to do such as paint the house, mow the lawn or build a car I would. That's no offense to the movie though.

Though it sometimes feels like a television sitcom, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is good-hearted, lovable, and delightfully eccentric, with a sharp script and lead performance from Nia Vardalos.

Harmless and inoffensive, which is harder to pull off than you would think. Sometimes it's genuinely funny and the lack of production budget doesn't hinder the story too terribly. Worthwhile.

While the whole aspect of contrasting the differences between two cultures is effectively a limited idea, the film pulls it off quite well and is for the most part good easy viewing entertainment. There's the odd joke thrown in here and there providing the occasional bit of humour. To be honest I'm probably rating this a little higher than it deserves. However although I know it's very Hollywood and typically cheesy, I couldn't help get some enjoyment from it. Predictable, but decent enough.

Doofy yet enjoyable and watchable. It's sweeter than it is funny, and I didn't quite believe the boyfriend/husband character, but it gets by on its big-family charm. Andrea Martin steals all the best laughs.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding came out of the gates at a promising pace. The voice over narration was enjoyable, and the comedy was on point. Right around the moment in the movie where the main character meets her love interest, things become tired and take a turn for the worse. There are a few good laughs. Also, it didn't make me want to avoid the sequel, but it wasn't that great- or average.

The predictable plot and its shallow romance breeze by with nary a dive under the surface (only Toula gets a hint of character probing), but it can't be denied that the film's big fat Greek family portrait is nothing short of hilarious, and often heartwarming too (see "Apples and oranges" wedding speech). The charmingly traditional and over-dramatic Gus is a particular highlight, with his staunch patriotism and cute quirks (Windex for everything; "toast family"). Zany family comedy at its best.

I guess one could take this as an example for positive racism. Yet, I just had to laugh out loud a couple of times. It's also very refreshing to see an attractive female protagonist, who doesn't look anorectic. If it needs to be a Hollywood romance comedy, let it be something of this kind please.

One could argue that this is nothing more than an ethnic sitcom. However, there are two crucial differences: (1) unlike a sitcom, this is actually funny, and (2) writer/star Nia Vardalos has all kinds of charm and screen presence
