Well, what can I say that's positive about this film? Sadly, the answer is "nothing": Poor acting, terrible casting, a pedestrian and obvious plot - even the music was pretty awful versions of some well-loved Greek songs.
I really, really wanted to like it, maybe because I foolishly dismissed the critical voices here as being biased, but there really isn't anything TO like. I am Greek myself, so I was looking forward to a wry treatment of the way we perceive the world but no such luck. This is truly one of the most pointless and abysmal movies I've ever seen. As someone else here said: if you're looking for a "Big Fat Greek Wedding" peep into the life and psyche of Greeks in England then you're going to be very disappointed and even more so if you're hoping for a pleasurable way to while away an evening.
