My Big Fat Greek Wedding - DVD

Toula Portakalos feels trapped in her large Greek family, where women are expected to do only three things: "marry Greek men, have Greek babies, and feed everyone until the day they die." Rebelling against this fate, Toula quits the family restaurant, goes to college, fixes her hair, and falls in love with Ian--a guy who is way-too-good-to-be-true, and not Greek. This horrifies Toula's Greek culture-crazed father and sets off a major culture clash between her loud, eccentric family and Ian's subdued, overcivilized Anglo-Saxon parents. Based on Nia Vardalos' own autobiographical one-woman play, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," is filled with big, fat, crowd-pleasing laughs, making it a wedding worth attending.Stars Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Michael Constantine.
