My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Watching this now on Sky, now im pretty sure this film is supposed to be funny/ironic whatever you want to call it but to be honest my face hasnt cracked once and im getting pretty bored now! Even the Greek mafia gag didnt raise a smile! Theres only about 20minutes left so ill stick it out but there really hasnt being anything in the film thats stood out.

Its for fat women; are you a fat woman with a moustache? If not, its not for you. I really hope that my girlfriend doesnt see this.....

But on the off-chance that she does, Id like to add: that you are neither fat, nor do you have a moustache, although your mother does so keep an eye on that!

Yes, it's a chick flick, but it's ok. There is the odd funny moment here and there, but some of the 'jokes' make me wince.
Does give a slightly sterotypical view of greek familes, however, a few greek friends agree that it's pretty near to the mark

Chick flick, yes, but married into a Middle Eastern family (similar) with Greek Cypriot brother in law on one side and Greek Cypriot married to my cousin.
I thought it was funny. Stereotypical, yes. Cliched, often. But funny nonetheless. Not Oscar (TM) material but entertaining, which is what I see movies for...
SB (Neither fat, female or moustached)

The fat and moustached comments were tongue in cheek. Its a chick flick with a lot of in jokes if youre Greek, which may translate to other cultures too.
