Family is everything, few families embody this idea as passionately as the Greeks do. Come along on this family adventure into something much more.
Original Review:
Growing up in a Greek family means that there are certain things expected of you, especially if you're a woman. The biggest expectation falls on expecting the young woman to find a good Greek boy and start a traditional Greek family. Well, that's not exactly how it has gone for Toula. She has grown up in a very traditional Greek family but she yearns for more. Through a pursuit for education, she meets a man that is everything that she had ever dreamt of... Except for one thing. He's not Greek! The events that will unfold are both sincere and hilarious. Through all of this, all the happy couple wants is one another, now if they can just make it to the altar... The title itself gives you an idea how the story ends but there's much more to this than a goofy comedy. This both honors and challenges family traditions as it shows what they'll go through to be together. As unique as this tale it, it still is almost borderline in the way it addresses certain aspects of society. An interesting story that delves deeply into the family unit, what works and what doesn't. Come prepared for a laugh and a little something more.
