I think this movie's about living your life for yourself and no one else. At the start she was miserable and she changed it to be happy. I don't think anyone has the right to tell you how to live your life, and I've always thought families who are desperate to get their kids to only breed in their own kind have a primitive mentality. Your kids shouldn't feel obligated to do anything to make you happy.
I so love this part in the movie cause it is true cause you shoukd be allowed to love someone no matter were they came from. also it doesn't matter what your parents think it is up to you wether or not you want to marry that person cause it is up to u and the other person if u want to marry him and that is really what I think is the movie is about
@astarla12 American oddly find Italians and Greeks similar. In apearance and personality. I'm Greek and my friend is Italian. Our famalies are freakishly similar, only Nia exxagerated on the lamb eyeballs we don't do that. Of course on New Years everyone cheats for the coin in the cake because it's supposed to bring good luck. Our name means, "Big Head" in Greek. So while watching this I CAN relate.
He has given me the same misconception that most Disney men give me. He's so wonderful. I can't imagine that any real guy out there could possible be like him. I'd be in heaven (as I think, would most women) if he were real.
"greeks marry greeks and are loud and eat all the time".. LOL I am Greek from Greece and this is so silly even to say...Do only Greeks eat in this world? LMAO Can't see why shouldn't everybody feel proud for his/her orogins! Everybody supposed to feel that cos every nation has something unique and wondeful in his history! That's the interesting thing about this world! Otherwise, it would be a boring place to live in! (I'm just saying.. )
I just adore this movie but I'll tell you one thing that is DEFINITE Hollywood fantasy... Everytime I've gone out with a girl once and asked her to go out again the next night or even a couple nights later, I get the brush off cause they think I'm coming on too strong.
Just once I'd like to meet a REAL woman like Toula. How sad that she's just a Hollywood fantasy.
@andrielisilien Daaamn 70 first cousins? I have only 53 on my mom's side... but then again, me and my siblings are discovering new cousins that we've never heard of every week.. /:
@ZebraPrintNails99 hahaha! I know the feeling. Every year my maternal grandmother makes Christmas ornaments for each grandchild and great-grandchild that she has (she doesn't make any for her own children or in-laws). I have forgotten the number for this year but I know she made at least 100 ornaments.
I have also 30 first cousins.....but my family members sadly all in fight...They are also loud...and when I was younger I had no minute for myself...but now, every family part is all fighting and strangely acting wrongly...I am very sorry for it..
why do Greeks look Middle Eastern . i have met many Greeks and have Mistaken them for Persians or Arabs . even some Greek Dishes are the same as in the Middle East . Greeks sorta Resemble Persians lol .
i am greek my whole family is blonde and blue eyed and so am i and i don't look middle eastern at all :P
i actually have never met greeks that look middle easter except vardalos and some on very south greece that havwe that kind of color because of the sun
well i'm not greek but actually, the greeks pretty much did.
a lot of english words DO steam from the greek language and a lot of the things we know today have been developed from greek theories, philosohies and inventions.
oh my god he is the guy of my dreams but im probably the girl of his nightmares it sucks when the guy of your dreams thinks your a nightmare. but thats life, you cant make someone love you, they have to want to love you.
True love is ALWAYS different.From the first meeting you sense that something is so totally different , you can be yourself.It is ok to be what you are and not perfect.Love is different from obsession , it is somethig else.All of you out there,do not cry for lost "love",true love will stay,and true love will last.Do know that true love is there no matter how imperfect you find yourself to be.
@IseeYouAndYouDont I am not sure if you are refferring to my comment on this issue, but i am not talking about hopeless love, but true love that can go through everything nesccessary to have its way.I do believe that God, like no one else can see who will be right to eachother and that, that kind of genuine love can be difficult for the family and friends until they realize that it is the way it is meant to be. Until they experience how happy the two in love are even after a long time.Write me!
the old lady butt whuppin was funny but the part that had me laughing so hard that I was in stitches was when Nia said "would you like to see some brochures?" and then WHOOSH and then she says "found 'em" Oh Lord have mercy that was HILARIOUS!! XD XD XD
@Smileygirlz25 I am sure most people understand that it's exaggerated. movie makers always do it. Otherwise, it will not sell.. :))) You don't learn about other cultures watching Hollywood movies.
