      2016.08.07 "My Big Greek Wedding"

      I watched a family soap opera for no reason. I thought it was Beijing and Seattle, but when I wrote a movie review, I found that I couldn’t find it. I have to complain that this is a very stupid soap opera. Not much to say, soap operas, - - The only thing that attracts me is the daughter who wears makeup in the audience.

      I can't put a short review, so I have to put it here.

      Because every time Mao sees such a movie, he will substitute it. Ugh. I feel like this, ugly, low self-esteem, wearing glasses, surging inside but not afraid to do anything. I have a dream in my heart or a white horse Tang monk, but I always think it is out of reach. Like Mary, pictured, like all such girls. It takes a while to be pretty, and then it goes back to the way it was. Is it natural? Family, it says in the film, my family is noisy and weird. The male protagonist said, but whose family...

      Movie Review: My Big Greek Wedding

      8 points! Definitely in the top 10 of "my favorite comedy movies"! Oranges and apples, no one suffers ~ The big family is noisy and it feels really boring at ordinary times, but if you really integrate into it, you can also find the warmth in it. This film basically talks about national characteristics, but the scale is very well grasped, and the degree of healing is full. Although there is content that makes me want to laugh almost every minute, this film does not always like to fill the time...

    The Greek customs in the film are very different from those in mainstream American films. (Sina Entertainment Review) The  kind of real and warm family atmosphere, relaxed and humorous dialogue and clever interpretation of cultural conflicts touch people's hearts. (Review of "Labor Daily") 
    "My Grand Greek Wedding" puts the romantic comedy in a pattern of ethnic and cultural conflict, and the jokes of various customs are pleasant...
