I loved this movie which had me in hysterics. Richard Dreyfuss was by far the best. I'm Greek and was not at all insulted by this film.

Great movie! Kind of predictable, but lighthearted. Loved the character interaction and scenery. I was very entertained throughout the whole movie, without any YAWN moments.

How can one person say "no emotional attachment". This movie, altho a wonderful comedy, was also very sentimental. For total entertainment, see this movie. It's a must.

Keep in mind that I'm 100% virgin olive oil Greek, so it hurts me even more to say this...save your hard-earned drachmas/euros/dollars and go to a nice Greek restaurant instead of this movie. Don't be fooled...it's NOTHING Keep in mind that I'm 100% virgin olive oil Greek, so it hurts me even more to say this...save your hard-earned drachmas/euros/dollars and go to a nice Greek restaurant instead of this movie. Don't be fooled...it's NOTHING like My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There's no emotional attachment with any of the characters, and even more disappointing, no insights into the beauty and grandeur of Greece. Very disappointing.… Expand

Quite frankly the worst movie I've seen in a long, time... like watching a bad 70s movie.

No, it's not the best movie out there. Yes, it's terribly cliche. But I absolutely loved it. It's one of those romantic comedy, feel good, everybody has a happy ending, kind of movie.

Bad acting. Lame plot. Brutally superficial dialogue. Yawn.

Wonderful movie. Loved the back drop of Greece. I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. Wanted a little bit more for the ending though.

This is one of Richard Dreyfuss' and Nia Vardalos' best movies. It's a great movie for those of you who love Greek food or of all the places you've been in the world,you've never made it to Greece.
