A Greek Wedding

Remember our movie ? Well, I’ve watched a great one called My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Casamento Grego). I’d like we worked on this movie. This is a full-hearted production of Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. Please try to watch it as soon as possible so that we can post comments about the story in our blog.

Cheers,

Eonline Review
Watch out, you're marrying the whole family! Maybe that's why it's tough for Nia Vardolos to find herself and find a man in this buoyant story of ethnic roots versus personal growth. In Central Conflictville, Vardolos has a cranky, old-school daddy who wants her to marry a Greek and start making babies. Of course, she has to discover her own personal worth and falls for non-Greek stud John Corbett. He does just fine, though, and the avalanche of family (including Andrea Martin, Michael Constantine, Lainie Kazan and 'N Sync's Joey Fatone) is very noisy. Like the horde of relatives, the voiceover narration is a little too loud and insistent at first, but the movie ends up as a big, fat happy occasion.

My Own Brief Review
The movie shows how family plays an important role in peoples’ lives and how this role is always indispensable for the whole society.
There’s also the funny aspect of ethnocentrism that permeates the relationships of each family. From the Greeks it’s more open. From the Italians far more subtle but still real.
I’d say that movies of this kind represent what cinema should be about: a skilled effort to show off true aspects of our heritages, our laughs and tears and the whims of our cultural details in the everyday life.
Simple and real.
