(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   "Moderadamente divertida, se gana verla, al menos en video, quizá con pitas en vez de pizzas.."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "A film of pure delight from beginning to end."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D- "Now, Nia Vardalos will jump out of your movie screen or television set...and club you over the head with a bottle of Windex until you give in to her aggressively overbearing humor!"   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 4/4 "Although films of this flavor depend primarily on their comic timing to win over an audience, director Joel Zwick finds other outlets of brilliance..."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes C "This romantic/comedy asks the question how much souvlaki can you take before indigestion sets in."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Vardalos certainly has a strong screen presence (physical humor is her strong suit) though her script is considerably lazy."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A "One of the funniest, most joyous comedies to come along since the Greeks invented comedy."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D+ "An embarrassment, a film so humiliating to everyone involved, it is shocking that protesters haven't come out of the woodwork to scream bloody murder."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "An alternately raucous and sappy ethnic sitcom...you'd be wise to send your regrets."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A robust romantic comedy filled with high spirits and a celebration of ethnicity."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The movie is consistently funny without ever going over the top -- a rarity in movies."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "a delightfully warm-hearted look at the joys and exasperations of both family and ethnic heritage, an ode to everyday people and the joys of romance turning into lifelong love."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 "We're sitting around the storyteller as she tells us about her family and all their crazy personalities and relationships with each other. And we can smile knowingly because family dynamics are easily relatable."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "If viewers aren't looking for anything remotely sophisticated and don't mind the broad, repetitive comedy or potentially offensive stereotypes, they might just find themselves enjoying this lightweight film -- to some degree."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/10 "On the whole, this film didn't make me laugh much, didn't make me 'aaaaaah' much and didn't give me any more insight into its astronomical popularity."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "The actors...bring out an attractive, warmhearted simplicity in each character. Above all, they portray a close, loving family, the film's ultimate and lasting virtue."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "Es un entrañable filme sobre el amor, la familia, las tradiciones, la consecución de los sueños y la tolerancia.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "Out loud laughing, full of heart and humor and just wonderful feeling. Dare I say, a triumph!"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "Almost everyone growing up believes their family must look like "The Addams Family" to everyone looking in... "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" comes from the heart..."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson A- "It would be enjoyed by anyone who has been married, is married, wants to get married, or knows someone who is married."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll 2/4 "When Vardalos tries to pass one-joke stereotypes and situations as revelatory characterizations and experiences, it simply doesn’t achieve anything noteworthy."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "We like seeing some validation of what we’ve always suspected: that we don’t actually need to be a size 2 supermodel to be worthy of a guy like John Corbett."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A comedy that, if not exactly a gutbuster, is one that is consistently charming, and that is due to the fresh voice and presence of writer/star Nia Vardalos."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3.5/5 "A circus full of wacky and interesting characters."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "I mean it only in the best sense when I say that My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a really nice movie."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Balances the specifics of the Greek-American culture with the transcendent universalities of family dynamics and makes you want to hug your own family."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow B+ "This is a very funny, heartwarming film. It has fun with the quirks of family life, but it also treats the subject with fondness and respect."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 70/100 "It’s funny, it’s familiar and you can see a lot of the situations transferring over to your own life."   Apollo Guide   Ryan Cracknell B+ "Endearing eccentricities, such as Toula's father's improvisational Greek etymologies of words like "kimono" and his reliance on Windex for a range of external-use medicinal purposes, help humanize the characters."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 8/10 "A delectable confection."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2/4 "Folks will come away from the film mistaking a warmth for their own experiences with an over-abundance of affection for My Big Fat Greek Wedding."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "...los actores parecen estar divirtiéndose a lo grande."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio 2.5/4 Read review   Zertinet Movies   David Johnson 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
