Alien at the Movies

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

After the death of patriarch Gus, the Portokalos family plans a family reunion trip back to his hometown in Greece to share Gus’ journal with friends & relatives in his old village. They become disappointed to find only 6 people remaining living there & have difficulty finding their dad’s old childhood friends. What makes this franchise so funny & charming is the wacky characters playing off each other. With their dad having passed & their mom getting senile, there is a debate about who should become head of the family. Secrets get revealed as the day of the big reunion approaches. 

Alien gives it 3 “secrets are a waste of time” stars out of 4.
