I Watched *My Big Fat Greek Wedding* And Found LOVE! Movie Reaction and Commentary

[@Welchy]

Someone say wedding? Only if it’s me and you :SSS

[@MoviesinDepth]

YOU SEXY BEAST

[@sassylittleprophet]

Power couple

[@VictoriaRamos-jz6mb]

Love you @Welchy!

[@ninaamaral4434]

This movie is SO emotional to my teen memories! My dad was crazy about it, which would never cross your mind if you had met him, all 6'4" and martial arts trained. Since he passed, every time I watch this movie all I can think is how I wish he would have been at my wedding, offering shots to my husband's very catholic family just to copy the movie... AMAZING! LOVE IT!

[@kathryn3802]

"You fixed it" as the bundt cake is being brought out with a plant in the middle, cracks me up every time. One of my top feel good movies.

[@kaori17az]

Yeah I love that joke and also when they confuse Tula's mother in law name.

[@kitsune2284]

My all-time favorite quote in this movie is "we may be lambs in the kitchen, but we are tigers in the bedroom." it cracks me up every time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

"We may be lambs in the kitchen, but we are tigers in the bedroom" might just be the biggest HOLD UP movie line I've heard in a while

[@MoviesinDepth]

RIGHT? Where did that come from??

[@macarenasebastiangaete]

In interviews, Nia Vardalos said it was something her mother said to her and it was so weird she just couldn't get it out of her mind for a really long time.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The leads have such underrated chemistry in my opinion. Also, I have a feeling that parents are like Toula’s parents lmao

[@MoviesinDepth]

YESSS

[@jesusxfreak2]

The actresses real father is named Gus. This was written by the actress so it most likely mirrored a bit of her life with finding love with a non-greek.

[@erikal.illustrations6278]

Favorite line: "What you mean he don't eat no MEAT!; That's alright I make lamb." Me and my mother randomly quote this all the time.😅 My Favorite scene however is her getting yanked back by her headphones 🎧 😂 That moment lives rent free in my brain.😅

[@odysseasntalias5950]

I enjoy seeing the comments about everybody's favourite scene from this movie and there are so many amazing scenes, but in Greece the most favourite scene is the one in which the young guys from the bride's family tricked the groom , who wanted to flatter them by speaking some greek , into saying "ECHO TRIA ARCHIDIA= I HAVE THREE TESTICLES". The movie theater was trembling from the laughing and my father almost had a heart attack 😅😅😅😅

[@chloemilburn8482]

Fun fact: the guy who places the best friend of the groom…was the brides husband in reality…he is even called Ian. He did convert to Greek orthodoxy when marrying her…so it’s kinda about their life, they adopted a daughter but unfortunately divorced in 2018. It was produced by Tom hanks and his wife Rita Wilson….another fact is which I think make these films so successful are the budget was $5 million and made $368.7 million, even my big fat Greek wedding 2 ( which I highly recommend you watch next) was budgeted $18 million and made $90.6 million. The 3rd is due to be released soon.

[@heathergarnham9555]

I think my favourite line has to be "Oh woe is me, business is bad"

[@lz6364]

She works alone all day with no help, she SUFFERS haha

[@riaterzi2826]

As a Greek, this movie was AMAZING 😂 It felt so weird the first time I watched it

[@MoviesinDepth]

I’m soooo happy this movie exist

[@UniqueLove32]

Do you feel like this was a good reflection of your culture? It made me love the Greek culture outside of the food 😋

[@jessjasmin06]

ME TOO i felt both represented and called out lol

[@VEZ30]

@@UniqueLove32 As a Greek I would say there are elements of truth, elements calling out some of our silly behaviours and some things that feel very exaggerated. Overall the vibe is fairly accurate.

[@gillkat96]

This movie has always been a favorite of mine and I am so pumped for the third one. I literally cannot pick a favorite line because there are so many amazing/iconic ones.

[@MoviesinDepth]

This is a real MBFGW Stan right here ♥️🫡

[@historyfreak6591]

My favorite line from this movie is when Toula tells Ian "I don't know. If I survived an old lady ass kicking, I'd brag about it."

[@virtuallyveronicka]

My favorite and very quoted line is “why you want to leave me?”…cracks me up every time!

[@shanaedyer]

I grew up loving this movie. I can't wait for the third movie .

[@VenyVen]

This is one of my all time favorite movies! The commentary is great too! The "let me touch your hair" line was actually improv. The actress forgot her line so said the first thing she could think of, lol. Also 'Toula"s actual husband played the part of movie husband's best friend. Sadly I think they are divorced now. Please, might I suggest you check out the movie Fools Gold?

[@lizjo7213]

Fav Michael Constantine line, They're different people, so dry like a piece of toast...my daughter is gonna marry Ian Miller with a toast family 😅....

[@wackywaitresslv2786]

He says in greek after that " she going marry a stranger. 😂😂😂😂

[@ShiningStar2010]

I loved this movie AFTER I got married. (Too stressed before) My family and his family are just as crazy (big Latino family + big Southern Family) and there are so many moments in this movie I relate too.

[@CrisApplesauce]

I always loved watching Toula's glow up, it's really beautiful to watch her come out of her shell and take that opportunity to change her life. ❤

[@VEZ30]

I liked that it was something gradual, she gained more confidence and slowy glowed up. Also I was so glad they did not straighten her hair.

[@memelord7567]

Anything out of grandma's mouth is my favourite line. Absolutely iconic.

[@mariaghiglieri78]

As one of 34 cousins, I laughed my ass off when she talks about her family.

[@EvripidouM]

As a greek cypriot i can guarantee this is how greek families are (of course caricatured for the movie)

[@MoviesinDepth]

I love this so much

[@vas......78]

Really koumpare? Check the Cypriots on England Or Australia 😅😅😅 klama

[@phoenixfire124]

I love that the guy who says, "Hey Ian, we're gonna kill you!" is Joey Fatone from N'SYNC. Love this reaction so much... I also agree with you about Nico. He has a bit of who's your boss energy. 😉

[@Khaleesisa1]

“And the neck can make the head turn any way she wants”

[@MoviesinDepth]

PERIOD

[@christi776]

" I could snap you like a chicken" was always one of my favorites 🤣🤣🤣

[@seattlecryptid]

The reason for the Wonders music is probably because Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are producers (I'm sure Playtone produced it?) on this!

[@MoviesinDepth]

I LOVE that!!

[@TaliyahHarris1025]

9:01 Funny thing about this is hes the most greek looking out of everyone here lol

[@MoviesinDepth]

Ok now that’s facts

[@rainbowgeek3284]

This is one of my favorite rom coms! My family and I are always quoting it. I also really love the proposal

[@MoviesinDepth]

The proposal is so cute!!

[@ashleydowney1222]

I love this movie. It's my 87 year old grandmother's favorite romantic comedy. I have 30 first cousins just on my biological mother's side. She was one of 9 siblings. And her mom was one of 6. Family reunions are huge. At least 400 to 500 people at a park in Kentucky. Also, being 31 and the last of my siblings to be single. I get asked all of the time when I am going to get married. Maybe one day it will happen.

[@eowynsisterdaughter]

The Greek Easter greetings are more along the lines of "Christ is risen" than "Happy Easter", referring to the resurrection of Jesus. My favorite part is where Nikki and her husband are dancing really fast to the slow paced, Greek rendition of "All My Only Dreams".

[@clairesnelson9961]

This is such a good one!! Im actually stoked to see the third one!

[@MoviesinDepth]

I still need to see the 2nd!!

[@clairesnelson9961]

Please please do a reaction to it when you do it's pretty good! 😄

[@Noordoesthething]

Honestly the "only 2 cousins" thing weirded me out, coming from a culture where large immediate families are the norm. Mom and dad's side combined? I've got 50+ first cousins. And the second cousins would be wildly offended if I don't know their kid's names because I'm aunty to them too. One of my second cousins introduced me to his kids for the first time as his little sister. Random aunt we've never met before? The kids just went with it. It probably helped that I bake all the time and they associate my arrival with sweets 😅

[@monkimallow]

As someone from a small immediate family I can't imagine remembering all those people.

[@Noordoesthething]

@@monkimallow the anecdotes help. 😅

[@opheliaretardanta8348]

This movie I only watched just last year for the first time and I have to say already on my list for top rom coms of all time ❤

[@osmanyousif7849]

The fact that this movie beat Sweet Home Alabama (another rom-com) at the box-office around the same time of this movie, is an actual miracle.

[@nancyomalley6286]

I'm not really sure how many cousins I have. My dad had half-siblings I never knew existed!

[@alicecullen4408]

Oh man I love this movie I never get tired of watching this movie. I hope you did the second one too cuz that movie is also amazing

[@mariak4247]

It looks like they were drinking ouzo. Strong stuff. :D I loved this move and just recently watched 2, so excited for 3 to come out next month. :) In 3, they are going to Greece. Can't wait.

[@MoviesinDepth]

I’ve never had that before!! I may need to try it👀

[@mariak4247]

It has a strong licorice flavor to it. Kind of like Sambuca, but I think stronger. @@MoviesinDepth

[@slozhnos]

you should totally rewatch that thing you do for the channel! it’s such a fun movie and i find it so funny that two cast members have been in the diary of a wimpy kid movies as the same character

[@jessquinn6106]

My favorite quote is the one that starts at the start of the film and lasts till the end. The whole film is awesome.

[@drockherb2073]

I’m greek ( half Greek anyway ) so this movie always holds a special spot for me, with YaYa still being a G that you don’t mess with + the loud 100s of us, also theOuzo is what they were drinking, I remember my 21 I got a bottle an drank most of it that night, I still in my mid 30s get nauseous when I smell licorice 🤢

[@RayeOfSunshine001]

What? What you mean? I run the restaurant, I cook, I clean, I wash for you and I raise three kids AND I teach Sunday school, you know…it’s lucky for me I have you to tie my shoes

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

Red white and royal blue was actually a pretty good rom-com. Better than i thought it would be. Of course I didn't read the book so book readers probably have complaints

[@MoviesinDepth]

I might need to watch it!

[@alexroberts2421]

You gotta watch the sequel! It's so good!

[@CHSwildcats19]

Thea Voula is my IDOL

[@MoviesinDepth]

I make you lamb

[@jesusxfreak2]

The drink that they were actually getting drunk on is called Ouzo. It's a greek licorice drink. Just looked it up out of curiosity.

[@heathergarnham9555]

It's very tasty, mixed with lemonade or straight

[@jesusxfreak2]

@@heathergarnham9555 would love to try it someday.

[@odysseasntalias5950]

Ouzo is not flavoured with licorice but it is flavoured and aromatized by an anise extract. It is very strong thus the greeks ( except alcohol addicts) consume it only with appetizers in the table. If you get drunk from it you will remember the headache for the rest of your life..😊😊

[@tg0611]

I don’t know what my favorite line is but I’m still making windex jokes decades later

[@the_nikster1]

my favorite quote is the same as yours! me and my best friend quote that line alll the freaking time! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE DON'T EAT NO MEAT?! ...it's ok, I make lamb 🤣🤣🤣

[@chelseamendez6112]

Best line: “don’t worry. I make lamb”

[@wickedlittletown2.0]

Yes!! My one of my FAVORITE film series! ❤ This first movie is so wholesome. Thank you for the reaction. ❤😊 I have a favorite scene to go with my favorite lines if you don't mind me saying? 😂 Its when Ian meets the family at the restaurant and he meets Aunt Vula and she says "Ian, let me touch your hair." And he let's her and she's all smitten.😂 That line "And he don't eat no meat?!" 😂 I LOVE Aunt Vula! Favorite character!❤

Love this movie! It’s so fun. I actually thought the family in this were Jewish when I was a kid 😂. Because I had never heard of Greek school, but I did know about Hebrew school. And I didn’t know why her Christian boyfriend would need to be baptized if she was also Christian, so I thought it was Jewish baptism
