Toula is 30. And unmarried. Which means as a nice Greek girl -- she's a failure. All her cousins did the right thing -- married Greek boys and made Greek babies. So everyone worries: what will become of Toula? Then one day she sees the ultimate unattainable guy and realizes the only way her life will get better is if he gets away from her big, fat Greek family. Toula escapes from the family restaurant. She exchanges her seating hostess jacket for a college diploma, convinces her aunt to give her a new job, and trades in her coke-bottle glasses for contact lenses, just in time for "him" to walk back into her life. Ian Miller is tall, handsome but defnitely not Greek. Their courtship is an Olympian culture clash. Can Ian handle Toula, her parents, her aunts, uncles, cousins and several centuries of Greek heritage? Will Toula discover the love she's been missing right in the heart of her big, fat family? One thing is for sure, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, with Ian's proposal Toula is headed for her big, fat Greek wedding.DVD Features:

Toula Portokalos is 30, Greek, and works in her family's restaurant, Dancing Zorba's, in Chicago. All her father Gus wants is for her to get married to a nice Greek boy. But Toula is looking for more in life. Her mother convinces Gus to let her take some computer classes at college making him think it's his idea. With those classes under her belt, she then takes over her aunt's travel agency again making her father think it's his idea. She meets Ian Miller, a high school English teacher, WASP, and dreamboat she had made a fool of herself over at the restaurant; they date secretly for a while before her family finds out. Her father is livid over her dating a non-Greek. He has to learn to accept Ian; Ian has to learn to accept Toula's huge family, and Toula has to learn to accept herself. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a wholesome and very enjoyable movie, with a lot of funny moments, that the whole family can enjoy.

It even improves over repeat viewings. There is some very funny, unusual satire, tangible chemistry between Vardalos and Corbett, relentless, wild stereotypes that amazingly seem to humanize rather than degrade, and then this troublesome marriage arrangement that nevertheless makes it all look totally worthwhile. Definitely a good heart, with brilliant, humane touches all around. The extended relations are absurd but fascinating, a cake fully baked via the excellent casting of Gia Carides (cousin 'Nikki'), among others. Even Joey Fatone is good! It's quite a mystery. Not necessarily a 'chick flick' by the way, despite all the trappings--just a good, funny, and original movie, period. Customers who bought this item also bought:
