Introduction:

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a 2002 romantic comedy film written by and starring Nia Vardalos and directed by Joel Zwick. It was the fifth highest grossing movie of 2002 in the USA, with USD$241,438,208. It is the highest-grossing film to never have been number 1 on the weekly North American box-office charts. In 2003, it was nominated for an Academy Award, Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. The DVD release in the USA includes a Greek subtitle option.

The movie is centered on Toula, a Greek-American woman (Nia Vardalos, who also wrote the script), who falls in love with a non-Greek American, Ian (played by John Corbett). The movie also examines the protagonist’s relationship with her family, with their cultural heritage and value system, which is sometimes rocky but ends with mutual appreciation.

Toula has been unlucky in love and in life, and as she narrates in the opening sequence, it is shown that she is the only girl who failed in her family in Greek terms: she has not married a Greek boy, made Greek babies, and fed everyone. Girls who fail, like Toula, are stuck running the family restaurant. In this way, Toula opens as a swarthy, cynical character who wishes she were just happier. Now 30, she believes she has not changed for much better and is headed for disaster. While hosting guests at the restaurant, she makes eye contact with Ian Miller, a school teacher, and Toula embarrasses herself.
