My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

Another Big Fat Greek Wedding

Fourteen years after My Big Fat Greek Wedding became the highest grossing rom-com of all time, Nia Vardalos returns with a sequel. I have not watched the original in more than a decade, but my memories of it are fonder than the experience of watching its sequel. How did Vardalos’ sitcom fail so quickly? The sequel she wrote is filled with enough small-screen moments to fill a handful of episodes. 

Happily married to Ian (John Corbett), Toula is now struggling with the impending high-school graduation of her only daughter, Paris (Elena Kampouris). Toula also still has to deal with her very large, way-too-close family, including her mom and dad (Lainie Kazan and Michael Constantine), who are not actually married. One can safely assume that, like a harmless sitcom, all these problems will be worked out by the credit scroll.
