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.

While it's not as good nor as romantic as the original, I can live with that...

In general, I am not a guy who likes sequels and I had no intention of seeing "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2"...none. However, I was on a cross- country airplane flight and the film was being shown on the console...and this flight only showed one movie at a time. So, I decided to shove my ear buds in and give it a try...and I am glad I did.

If you liked the first film, you'll most likely really enjoy the second...though there is one big difference. The first film was a romance first and was enhanced by its comedy and ensemble cast. In this one, there really isn't much in the way of romance and it's all comedy and the ensemble cast. Considering how likable they all are and that they brought back just about everyone from the first film, it's really just more of the same...but a NICE bit of the same. Well made and a nice date film...but one that won't change your life nor is it exactly a must- see picture.
