Let's talk about one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a classic movie you can enjoy whether you are Greek or not. The combination of humorous and profound moments make for a truly entertaining watch. You'll find yourself cringing at Aunt Voula's frankness and laughing at Gus' comments on his daughter's age. You'll fall in love with all the characters as they learn to accept others for who they are, despite differences in background and beliefs.
These are some of the lessons we learned from the entire Portokalos family.
Family comes first.
Windex can cure any ailment.
It's a cardinal sin to be a vegetarian.
Greeks do it best.
The woman is the neck of the household.
Stay true to your heart.
Be proud of your heritage.
It's never too late to change your circumstances.
Your parents will always play the guilt card.
You're probably pronouncing "bundt" wrong.
Apples and oranges (and families) have more in common than you think.
