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.Actors

Chick-flick (no offense)
Average feel-good movie.
The story behind the movie is much more exciting than the film itself.
And I mean? How can you hype a movie like this?
A chick-flick (no offense)
Maybe worth a matinee
Plot: 5
Originality: 3

Acting: 6
Overall: 4.25
Other than a couple of chuckels, I don’t see what all the hype is about.
I loved this movie… funny, and well-done!
No fancy graphics or technology, just superb acting, and a beautifully written story. It’s up there with the best of this year…
Unfunny, sitcomish, and generally heavy on the eyelids
Oscar worthy!
If the "Academy" doesn’t recognize this then.. well, whatever, I already hated the whole Academy thing anyway. You get my point.
Fun and funny, for young and old. A great time at the movies!
Perfect feel-good wedding movie for the month of June!
