A Stupidly Unoriginal, Formulaic, and Just Overall Bad Movie

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 follows our main characters from the previous movie when they learn that their parents weren't officially married, and how they go about doing this.

I have nothing good to say about this movie. Most everything was average, but there were a few things that stood out as exceptionally bad.

To start, the movie advertises itself as a comedy, yet it fails to be funny. The parents were minor characters in the previous movie, so we got only a little bit of their humor every once in a while, and thus the humor never got old. But in this movie they take center stage, and they are boring. The whole joke becomes "they have an accent. Ha ha funny, right?" Most of the jokes from the previous movie aren't even incorporated. Occasionally we might get something, but it was already stale in the first movie, so it doesn't work anymore. Every other attempt at humor was often so far fetched it just didn't work, or just so cringey that it was hard to laugh through the disgusted face already spread across your face. Comedic references to the previous movie were made as well, but they were often much less original and simply existed as a reference. Moreover, they were often very forced scenes, again for the sake of a reference.

Also, there's a daughter in this movie. I don't know why she's there, she starts out as the central conflict, but I guess when time restraints came in that part just ended and the main plot started. She acts all moody at first and hates her family and stuff, then without the usual formulaic scene where she gets over it and loves her family she just starts loving them anyway. There's this sudden shift from hate to love, and it's never explained and comes completely out of nowhere. Why? Because the movie couldn't balance two conflicts at once and time restraints. That's what I think, anyway.

In fact, all the characters suck. The plot is made out to be a huge deal by these people, when it quite simply isn't. And the ending is so stupidly forced. It doesn't make any sense, but simply exists for the sake of following the cliché formula of wedding movies. It tries to force tears or at least some kind of feeling, yet it gives the audience no reason to get invested in any of these characters. The only feeling this movie induced was boredom. Yeah, there's nothing better than an unfunny, boring comedy, right? Wrong.

Overall this is just a really bad movie. There's nothing good about it, but there's plenty to hate. The comedy isn't funny, and the characters are stupid and underdeveloped. And to top it off, it's boring. In the end I wouldn't recommend this movie. Just watch the first one again, or something else entirely.

Sweet Sequel

You know what you're going to get with this movie - and it delivers. It's a good sequel. The downsides are that the plot is pretty thin and unfortunately 50% of the jokes are in the trailer. But it's a feel good movie and it's fun to see everyone from the original cast, 14 years later, including Ian Miller's parents. Funniest parts were when Gus's young grandsons ape him in explaining how the root of every word you can think of actually comes from the Greek.

Nice cameos from Rita Wilson (wife of Tom Hanks and the reason why the first movie got made), bundt cakes, Toula's big glasses and Windex. Lots of "in" jokes for those of us who loved the first movie and thought it was a refreshing change from typical Hollywood fare. Well done, Nia Vardalos. And by the way, she looks stunning in the red lace mini dress at the end of the movie.

One for Zorba

The original My Big Fat Greek Wedding was one of the big sleeper hits of the new millennium. A sweet and appealing comedy even though it played up certain Greek stereotypes.

The belated sequel is set 18 years after the original. If you have not seen the original since its 2002 release then the film makes no concession that you might remember some of the characters or signature gags from the original such as the Windex/Windolene being a fix for everything.

Nia Vardoulas again writes and stars as Toula happily married to Ian (John Corbett) they have a 17 year old daughter, Paris about to graduate and applying to go to college as well as prepare for her prom night. Paris wants to go and study in New York so she can get away from her suffocating extended family who all live near each other. Her parents would prefer if she went to a local college.

Ian and Toula also feel they need to spend time together like they did when they were younger and not parents.

The wedding element this time is that Toula's parents Maria (Lainie Kazan) and Gus (Michael Constantine) realise that the priest who married them never signed the marriage licence so they were never really married officially. How could not help thinking that Lainie Kazan had so much work done she looked like she should be Gus's eldest daughter.

So this time Maria wants a big fancy wedding but first Gus must propose properly and after a few false starts she ropes in Toula to sort out the wedding.

Basically that is the plot but to keep the large extended cast going there are side plots such as the prom night, Gus thinks he is a descendant of Alexander the Great as well as getting stuck in the bath.

Many of the characters from the original film are present, although still exuding a certain charm this time it feels less fresh and funny. It really is a case of being an unnecessary sequel that is light on story and laughs.
