I love the fact that Tula has her glow-up and bettering her life BEFORE she official meets the guy and falls inlove. she worked on being happy with herself and a job she felt more comfortable in and even took college classes to better herself. then once she had her groove going and practically glowing, the guy sees that and thats when they fall inlove. that's definitely a positive message for women out there. you can't just wait for a relationship to be happy. work on bettering your life and being happy with yourself first and usually the rest will fall into place.

Andrea Martin (Aunt Voula) is often on Broadway, and she’s hysterical. The line where she asks “Ian” to touch his hair was improvised because she forgot the real line. She’s a very funny grandma character in the film “Little Italy” where she’s playing an Italian that time… that movie isn’t nearly as solid as this one, but I like it.

BJ guessed right, lifting the bride and groom in chairs and smashing a glass wrapped in a napkin are both parts of Jewish weddings! We also just do the chair lift for any big celebration! I was in fear for my life at my Bat Mitzvah when all my 13 year old girlfriends lifted me up 😂

My roommate and I will say, " Why you want to leeaaavve me?", any time the other leaves for work. I'm half Greek (father's side) and I can say this is 100% factual. Luckily, I love being considered Greek (the family will take any excuse to make sure "you" are Greek too.) When I was 10, I was playing with my best friend (Gus. also 10). His mother, who was a distant relative-and Greek, of course, asked my parents if they were willing to agree for Gus and I to be engaged NOW, and we would get married when we turned 18! My dad seriously considered it, but my mom put her foot down.The thing about the women becoming a baby machine was very true, and she knew I wouldnt be happy in that role. 40+ years later, I'm single and happy. Gus is married to another Greek woman and has like 3 daughter and 1 son, and he is very happy as well

I was fed so well at my Greek friend’s houses. I was skinny and always had food shoved in my face with the classic line “Eat something, you’re too skinny”. I was in heaven. I still find Greek festivals in the area and attend them whenever I can. Sooo yummy.

The year this came out, my cousin had a Quinceañera, and as she passed in the church, my dad took a page from this film and leaned over and lightly spat on the back of her dress! I nearly passed out trying not to laugh out loud. 🤣

This movie always has me laughing because it's so relatable! For me it's watching a parody of my family! Yes, a big chunk of my family is Greek, living in Greece and my summers were often filled with loud big parties with a whole lamb roasting over a firepit. Or my uncle grilling fresh fish he had caught in the morning and then chasing me and my siblings with the eyeballs to get us to eat them! Aaaaahhh, the memories🤣

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reaction to it and Andrea Martin kills it in that one too! You two are just charming. You’re great reactors, but the wonderful curiosity you bring to your reactions is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the adventures! Opa! ❤❤❤

My husband comes from a gigantic family and while he's not Greek, I definitely felt like Ian when I met his family. Just on his mom's side, he has over 100 first cousins and he can rattle off their names without blinking. When we were planning our wedding, we had to curb his urge to invite every single relative. My mother said, "any aunt/uncle who is single can bring 1 cousin as their Plus 1." And his relatives have tried to feed me weird foods full of mayonnaise. I have convinced them that I'm allergic to eggs, just to avoid that nightmare.

I love my Greek family-in-law. I am in contact with them even more than with my own family. I feel right at home in Pireaus, but also high in the mountains in yjayia's village. "Fakes, agori mou?". 87yr old, tiny, cuts a huge pumpkin with a butcherknife and a hammer. While smiling and telling stories. We married on Salamina Island, Tsipourou and Zeibekiko all night. I became Nonos of a beautiful girl. I actually learned Greek for my family-in-law, trough TV shows and many questions. If you're in, you're really "In". Friends included.
