"There are three things that every Greek woman must do in life: marry Greek boys, make Greek babies, and feed everyone." - Toula Portokalos

Why watch this? This is a wonderful, hilarious case study on being Greek.

Plot Summary: Thirty-year-old Toula Portokalos, who still lives with her Greek immigrant family in Chicago, dreams of more than just working at their family restaurant. Toula decides to take computer and tourism classes, leading her to work at her aunt's travel agency, and sparking a romance with Ian, a non-Greek teacher who challenges her family's traditional expectations. The story follows their journey as Ian navigates the vibrant and sometimes overwhelming Portokalos family culture, ultimately leading to their wedding.

Dad's Preview: I love shows that give us insights into different ethic cultures. Here we get that, and also a lot of the insanity around weddings. This comedy will have you laughing and crying the whole way through. The cast is top notch with Nia Vardalos leading the way, starring in her own screenplay. It was also a pleasure to see Michael Constantine, as Toula's father, who sprays everything with Windex. Bring on the bunt cake!
