Movie #1173 “Big Fat Greek Wedding 2”

Movie #1173  “Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” was not as good as the original (what a surprise) but not a bad film at all, for a sequel.  It is true to the original characters, has a plot line that moves along, not entirely original, though.  I had a problem with the humor and jokes, though.  Some, esp. at the opening, fell flat —— because they were pushed too much, and I was surprised because the director is more capable than this showed.  But what worked were the small quiet moments, and the addition of the teenager and her boyfriend (two up and coming actors that we will see more of)  was a plus, as well!  I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.  I liked it, but i’m a huge fan of rom coms and this is a fun one, for the most part.
