My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I watched a romantic comedy “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. This movie is about a woman who came from Greek family. This extended family had many traditions. The woman whose name is Toula met a man Ian who wasn’t a Greek. Her parents were against their wedding as Ian wasn’t Greek and his parents weren’t happy about such daughter-in-law with her whole family. However, in the end Toula and Ian had wedding and everybody was happy.
There are many ridiculous moments such as when Toula pour coffee to Ian (they hadn’t known each other yet) instead of his friend, who asked for it.
We also can find some funny quotes from there:
1. In Greek family the man is the head, but the woman is the neck and she can turn the head.
2. Greeek women are lambs in the kitchen but tigers in the bedroom.
3. We’re all different but in the end we all fruit (this phrase is connected to Toula’s and Ian’s origin of the last names).
I’d like to tell something about characters. The main one is Toula. She is about thirty. Toula doesn’t have husband and children. She work in their family cafe. Toula says that she is a frump girl as she doesn’t consider herself beautiful. However, she is smart and charming.
The second main character is Ian. He is a gentle handsome man who works as a teacher. He really loves Toula and he is ready to embrace baptism in order to be Toula’s husband.
There is also Toula’s father Kostas who is really against Ian as Kostas wants Toula marries a Greek. However, he changes his opinion in the end and he is happy for her daughter and son-in-law.
The last character that I want to tell about is Toula’s mother Maria. She is really wise woman who enjoys cooking. Exactly Maria understands her daughter and convinces Kostas to accept Ian as a their daughter’s groom.
We can find many words connected to family in this movie such as get married, grow up, mother-in-law, heritage, marry someone, etc.
I enjoy this film as it’s quite light and funny. I really like movies of 2000s like this one as they have interesting plot and beautiful actors.
