Having heard all the hype about the first MBFGW, when I saw it late in its run, I felt a little unfulfilled. I did like quite like it, admired Nia Vardalos and the producers for realizing the effort.
This time around, I'm somewhat less over promoted to, and as such my receptors better tuned.
This is a good time, it's easy, communicative, empathetic and we all know most of the characters in one way or another.
The audience at my showing laughed warmly, often and with knowing gestures.
What some film is for, to enjoy, laugh at and find characters that relate to you and briefly visit the similarities and differences.
The cast is just fine, an extra nod to Elena Kampouris as Paris, whose tortured goodness is so well depicted.
Andrea Martin, Michael Constantine and Lainie Kazan are all old pro's, and made their roles their own.
Nia Vardalos' role anchors the whole thing, and her chemistry with John Corbett is relatable.
Decent movie, about and for good folks who've lived a journey. You could recommend it to anyone. Rare enough lately.
Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks produced, so they see a similar credibility. This is sequel worthy, in a sit-com sense.
If I had half points, I'd be 7.5 yet it's not quite 8-ish.
So a 7 with interest, and a nod.
