a movie made for a wedding, Reivew on My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Tula, a scruffy Greek 30-year-old maid, worked day after day as a waiter for the family restaurant. One day, she finally made up her mind to learn how to operate a computer - even though it went against the traditional Greek notion that "a woman is virtuous without talent". In the process of studying, Tula found self-confidence, became smart and beautiful, and at the same time began to work in her aunt's travel agency.
This new job brings Tula a prince charming, Ian. They are in love.
Ian is not Greek. The Tula family, which is very traditional, was very opposed to the relationship between the two at first, but Tula and Ian insisted on their love. Tula's father finally no longer objected, and the whole family began to organize a huge Greek-style wedding...

This film has never shown enough contradictions, from Tula's request to study, to the marriage with the alien Ian, including the marriage with Ian. En family's running-in, although stumbling, but warm and interesting.
So it can also be said that the theme running through the film is not the wedding itself, but the close ties of affection in the Greek family (or any family). This emotional connection is constructed in this story in the Greek family of the heroine Tula, and the characteristics and traditions of the Greek family become the main clues of the film.
Despite the lack of tension in the story, we might as well watch the film at a leisurely pace. Feel the humor and enthusiasm unique to the Greeks.
