[@foreverXcinderella]

The movie was written by Nia Vardolos (Toula). This is based on her real-life experiences with her family when she stepped outside Greek culture and married her husband. So there's nothing wrong with the movie. It's cheesy, sappy, sweet, and hilarious.

[@gracielacala7273]

great movie

[@miguelavendano8818]

Her real life husband is Ian’s coworker/ the other teacher. They’re divorced now.

[@metalinvader989]

As a Greek, I must say this movie took all the stereotypes and turned them to 11. Had quite a laugh.

[@gfoog3911]

As a Jew, it seems they did the same with ours (Except for the Church Scenes)

yeah but funny enough, too many of them are true.

[@christinabraun9882]

As a Greek-American, I can confirm that this is 100% correct, except my family says that chamomile tea is the solution to all problems instead of Windex.

[@pmparda]

That actually is partially true! For stomach aches, sore throat, eye infection!

[@debilionetti3211]

My family is Italian, but the stereotypes seem to be true for a lot of first-generation kids and their immigrant parents, especially if the parents came to this country many years ago. The one constant, however, is the love the families have for their children and the close family ties...it's not always easy, but there is nothing better!

PaoloMG if you’re born and raised in america you nationality is american, not your ethnicity, she was obviously talking about her ethnicity

[@dimipats258]

If you are not Greek this movie may have come across as tacy and cheesy but it is a perfect way of displaying Greeks and extending stereotypes

[@2wingo]

Missed Sin: A Greek Orthodox wedding would never play instrumental music inside a church. Eastern Orthodox Christians believe that the only instrument worthy to glorify God is the human voice, so all religious music is a capella.

[@Sophia_at_MIA]

Actually, that's more of the Orthodox Church in America. A lot of Greek Orthodox churches use organs, but it just depends on the individual church. For example, my old church had an organ, but my current one does not.

[@brianfink9974]

@@Sophia_at_MIA As my first GO priest once whispered to me, "You were a Lutheran. How do you sabotage an organ?"

[@MillennialPanic]

@@Sophia_at_MIA Um no. I'm Greek that still lives in Greece. Never in my entire life have I ever went to a church that has any organs in it. And my family is very religious.

[@Sophia_at_MIA]

@@MillennialPanic Oh, sorry- by Orthodox Church in America I meant the OCA (formerly Ruthenian Catholic) church. I live in America and my old church had an organ, as well as some others I’ve seen, but I went to Greece this summer and you’re right- no organs in churches anywhere. What I meant is that in America, it depends on the individual parish as I’ve seen Greek Orthodox churches in the US both with and without organs.

[@MillennialPanic]

@@Sophia_at_MIA Oh wow, I didnt know they had organs over there. I think its kind of an unwritten rule that they only use the human voice. There are churches with really good singers but especially in smaller towns you'll see old dudes with awful vocals just trying to make it through 😂

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

I'm half-Greek and my Thea Eva's house looked almost exactly like the one in this film. The only thing she didn't have was the Greek flag on the garage. Every year she would go to Greece and bring home some new statue or fountain and we would all get invited over to look at it. Actually, this movie felt very familiar to me in a lot of ways. My grandparents owned a restaurant and my father and his brother worked in it as kids. Their aunt was constantly playing matchmaker and they went to Greek school. Yep...very familiar.

[@samis5018]

Here in Greece we don't have blue and white houses is just a typical stereotype

[@toasttoyou58]

Coming from a Greek family that house was unfortunately not inaccurate

[@polarisgemini52]

Feels like practically every culture other than Western European and Americans are same in this way lol

[@Hollyberrystreats]

Yeah he mocked that house as over the top, but used to drive past a house in Arlington Heights that looked just like that, minus the statues.

[@NintendoMaster363]

I have family with a house almost like that

[@christophersolomita6970]

Christos Gurd I also grew up in a very VERRRY Greek house and share your name

[@Thisisacomputah]

Just add a bit more “kids using the other as a punching bag” and a tad pinch of “eating a 5 litre ice cream tub within the span of 3 days.” That’s a bit more Greek. And Pontian!

[@sarahhales1505]

Andrea Martin (Aunt Voula)’s line about touching John Corbett (Ian)’s hair was an add lib. Andrea Marti forgot her line and made up the hair bit and John Corbett went along with it.

[@sovietunionsmostnotoriousk5031]

1:14 I’m Russian. While, we our house isn’t shaped like the Saint Basil’s Cathedral, I do have millions of statues, ornaments, snow globes, and centerpieces of Saint Basil’s Cathedral.

[@JoshGolus]

My mom's entire side of the family is of direct Greek descent from my great grandfather. This definitely isn't 100% accurate, but it's more accurate than you think. Makes me kind of worried about when I get married.

[@TheGreekPianist]

I’m a Greek guy and love this movie. It really depicts Greek people very accurately, lol

As a Greek girl I can confirm "Nick" is one of the Greekest names ever! My father's name is Nick and he has 2 first cousins with the same name and several other family members aswell.

[@minisarge2619]

Personal vow to never name my kid Nick for this reason. I have 3 cousins named nick and they're all the same age.

[@GreekFreakyJoker]

The father saying "I don't know how long I will be alive" to get his way is very, very greek. My grandparents were talking about greatgrandchildren since I was 18. I am 24, no girlfriend and it doesn't matter if my priority is to finish college. I MUST find a girlfriend.

[@meghanbeverly837]

I giggled at that part too! My Yia Yia was the WORST with that kind of manipulation!

[@sarahn.2296]

#31: she's supposed to sound like that, she's reciting what they practiced earlier. It's meant to be bad acting. #60: they use a baptismal font, but the joke is that he's too big to be baptized in it so they need a kiddie pool. Usually infants are baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church. #62: they use oil during baptism. It's not racist. #74: Nikolaus/Nicholas/Nikolai are very common Greek names that translate to "the people's victory"

[@annuShetzi]

Also you can totally get baptised without attending the church too much, you just need a friend who is on good terms with the priest. My mom got baptised right before I was without ever setting foot in a church, so I can be baptised too. My godmother was friends with the priest and a big part of the community so she asked him to do an exemption. I’m sure it’s the same for the orthodox too.

[@bellofrus]

Yeah, the Orthodox Church unfortunately doesn't get many converts, even in diaspora communities outside of Orthodox Majority nations, most of the baptisms are for babies so it's not uncommon for churches to pull out a kiddie pool decorated with white cloth or a metal tub. I live in the town with the highest density of Greeks in the US, we only got an adult baptismal font last year, which I had the honor of being the 2nd person to use. And yes, you will get ridiculously oily after your baptism, you will find it in your ears, hair, and Lord knows where else

[@MegaMagicdog]

I went to see this film in theaters with two friends - one of Scandanavian heritage, and one who was Tex-Mex from El Paso. My family is Sicilian from Brooklyn. After the film, Tex Mex friend says that is so much like her family - except substitute the Greek foods for Enchaladas, language for Spanglish, etc. . I said, that's not too far off my family, except substitute Greek foods with lasagne, Italian words, etc. Our last friend said she identified with the WASP couple in the film! So hilarious!

[@Ozgrade3]

This is my favourite movie ever. It's like looking back at my childhood. The people in the movie are exactly the same as the Greek families I grew up around. Australia has the biggest Greek population outside Greece and this movie is so true to my experiance at least. Brilliant writing and a beautiful story.

[@mariosx12]

As a Greek I can say that everything in this movie is accurate.

[@minisarge2619]

Can confirm as well, from my Greek, Italian and Ashkenazi parts of my family. Dating....is stressful and Toula is so relatable.

[@minisarge2619]

My mom said it was accurate to the generation before her...I didn't believe her until my great uncle quoted the "octopus" line from the movie....that he'd never seen.

[@Jennithebaker]

I remember seeing this movie in theaters with my mom and sister. We ended up with these Very Greek women behind us doing a running commentary through the entire movie. The. Entire. Movie. It drove us all nuts at first, but as it went on they became funnier and funnier and you just had to roll with it. I hope those women are doing well and speaking their minds in theaters right now.

Not really, we usually display them on the 25th of March and the 28th of October which are national holidays commemorating Greek Independence and our entry into WW2 respectively.

[@josephbrunetti5761]

Hey my best friend is Greek and I grew up in a very Greek neighborhood. I can say other then the hole windex cures everything joke this move is 90% accurate for Greek immigrant families. You should revise this video and have an actual Greek person help you cause this movie is really so funny cause it’s pretty true. For example my friend is George his grandfather George two of his cousins are George and every one of the grand father’s siblings (5 siblings) has at lest one son named George.

[@MnMsandOreos]

Joseph Brunetti my dad is Jim, and so are three of his cousins. Also we were super confused by the Windex thing, until one day my Yiayia was talking about this topical spray they sold in Greece in the 40s that was meant to heal wounds, and it was bright blue, so the father in the film probably saw Windex and got it confused for that stuff

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

I don't even think it us weird that I haven't moved out yet because my parents work almost all the time, my little brother is still in school, and my grandmother living with us isn't as energetic or as strong as she used to be. The woman in this movie is crazy because there is nothing wrong with family, it is just every family is different. There is no 'normal family'.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

Also as a Greek Orthodox girl, I can say that the "you're all oily" line isn't racist. You're dunked in oil instead of Holy water when you're turned into Orthodox Christian e.e

[@AnastasiaMAllen]

I’m Greek and though this movie puts Greek craziness up to an 11, it’s fairly accurate. However, the baptismal sins are reality, maybe you should have researched. Babies are baptized within their first year so anyone too old to fit in the small baptismal basin gets a kiddie pool. And Ian’s oily hair is caused by EVOO being in the baptismal water. Additionally, my husband (funnily enough named Ian) has a tiny family compared to mine so at our wedding I had probably 4 times as many attendees compared to him.

Well.. 2c from a Greek :) On 12:28, Miller ->Mill and the actual Greek word for Mill is Μύλος (Mylos, which sounds exactly as Mill with the -os at the end), and they both have the same root as words. Apple is Μήλο, so this joke is more for the Greek audience than the English speaking one, as is the joke about Kimono and Winter (Himonas-Χειμώνας), totally unrelated and quite funny to make that propostrous link :) Many of the gags eg the wedding invitations in the kitchen cabinet are actually based on truths, since eg our "kitchen" is a place for lots of things "current", meaning whatever is going to be used/sent be temporarily in the house/ *and* cooking. Also when a frequent friend/visitor comes, the kitchen is the place for coffee and smalltalk, so yeah, it makes sense to have (*one*) wedding invitation in a kitchen cupboard, ready-to-be-presented :D :D Of cource everything is blown out of proportions for comedic effect and it works so well in this movie :D

The reason they have a kiddie pool for the baptism is that normally Greeks are baptized as infants, so the baptismal font doesn't have to be very big. Ian is baptized as an adult, so they obviously had to figure out something else.

As a Greek living in Greece I always found this movie disgustingly stereotyping and racist. I always hated it and how much foreigners loved it. I hate the way Greeks are portrayed in American media in general because it's so outdated and far from the truth it's almost funny. I can't believe people actually come to Greece and yell oppa and expect not to be punched in the face.

[@mariaseiple9433]

well to be fair this is the greek-American experience. A lot of greek immigrants wanted to maintain connection to their culture and a lot may have kinda overcompensated. Personally, as someone who is third generation greek-American. THIS IS VERY ACCURATE. Obviously Greece and greek-American are different.

[@Zixxiee]

@@mariaseiple9433 I understand that the Greek American culture is quite different, but its a shame there isn't an accurate representation of Greece in movies.

[@mariaseiple9433]

@@Zixxiee I totally agree. as someone who constantly wants to learn about my culture( and lacks the discipline to read) their are few movies that show that experience in American film. Heck the only ones I can think of that take place in modern Greece is mamma mia and umm well the only greek characters are the help. So obviously their should be more. If you have any suggestions I would love to know them.

[@Zixxiee]

@@mariaseiple9433 A good quality greek movie is "An" or "What if.." from Christoforos Papakaliatis, and also the show Brousko is pretty good. Another great one is "A touch of spice", which is a bit about the historical side of our ancestors in Asia Minor. I'm sure you've watched Zorba the Greek, but if you haven't its a great nugget of how Greece used to be in the 20th century. Most Greek movies are a tiny bit too out there for me but those are actually very watchable and fun!

[@pmparda]

What American movies are about modern Greece? How do you expect Greece to be represented correctly when it is not represented at all?

In the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books one of the four girls has Greek heritage and in the third book her grandmother comes to America to live with her family because her grandfather had died.

The reason for the kiddy pools is because he is so big and the one they use for babies is not big enough for the ceremony so you need to take off a Sin.

[@trashbasket11]

K M right? And he doesn’t say “I’m Greek now” because of the oil he says it because of the baptism.

[@jamessharp7443]

~ sin #70-73 you forgot to mention they brought out a raw lamb 3-4 hours before the barbecue scene, when (as far as my family does it) it takes about 10 hours for a proper spit-roasted lamb.

Clearly the gentleman that's critiquing this movie doesn't have greek friends FROM Greece. This movie is 100% on point in the Best Way Possible. I laughed, cried and had the best time.

[@lindsey7800]

So I know their whole thing is "hur dur we make joke by being assholish and nitpicky" but like, so many of their sins for this video don't even make sense. The movie is based off of Toula's actress' real life experiences and a lot of the jokes and scenes are spot on for so many conservative cultures. I am not Greek, but I grew up in a conservative family-oriented culture and the movie translates almost directly. From Toula's feelings at the beginning of the movie, to the family's way of interacting with each other, to the reaction of the introduction of an "outsider" to the family. I don't want to say the video is upsetting per se because Cinemasins isn't a real analysis of the movie, but it's certainly irritating.

Thanks to this channel I can’t watch a movie without hearing a damn sin counter every time I see some stupid s**t, which also thanks to this channel I notice a lot more stupid s**t.
