 Nothing Important After churh today, went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. cute. Afterwards, went for Thai lunch. My wife was telling my son about the first time she met my family was on Christmas Eve. and she experienced about the same thing as in the movie. Our laughter was sometimes drowned out by a Thai family gathering in half the restaurant. It just confirmed to me that the lack of family structure, faith, beliefs, gatherings, is probably the leading cause for most of the problems here in the States. or maybe not.   |

| Great food is DEFINATELY a plus. Like the scene in National Lampoons'" Vacation" where the poor in-laws don't have any hamburger, so they just eat "helper". Lol. There is more to the meal than the food. I can't believe I just said that.. But there is. Some of the best meals I ever had were served with lousy food. And I ate every bite.

| My my my... Look what do we have here... I thought I was the only conservative here... Panini, in the film you saw, did you recognize the Italian way of living at all? This film cause many discussion in Greece and in the Greek communities of USA The film is very funny. If you see it you will realize that I wasn't exaggerating in my other post about weddings

| I saw it too! It's easily interchangeable with "Jewish" wedding!  My husband, who is usually pretty quiet in movies, was laughing out loud, tears streaming!

This film cause many discussion in Greece and in the Greek communities of USA Athenaeus, I haven't seen the movie yet, though I'd like to. I just need to put my two cent's in, Nia Var Dalos, the lady who wrote the movie, is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipeg does have a large italian population.

| Oh I guess that it has to do with his DNA Chrose... Yes, coolJ, I have read some interviews of her and she mentions that.In fact the producer asked her to turn the Greek family into an Italian one but she refused! The funny thing is that many national groups that live in the States, recognize themselves in this Greek wedding, I think that's the reason why the film has already made 80million $ although it has cost only 8...
