My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Paper Summary:

A very personal and positive review of the movie by the writer who claims to have seen it more than once. It discusses the plot and how it is more than a simple ethnic wedding, but teaches one to laugh at one's own mistakes and faults. The movie pushes ethnic tolerance in a funny and charming way and this paper examines how this is done.

From the Paper:

"My favorite thing about My Big Fat Greek Wedding was its lack of pretense. There could have been a lot more depth to this movie and its underlying storylines of cultural separatism, the pressure to conform, the will to improve one's lot in life, and final acceptance of self. However, in the end, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is exactly what it should be: a funny story about a Greek American girl, from a traditional Greek family, getting married."
