My Big Fat Greek Wedding (1)

Goofs:
When Toula arrives at the restaurant at the start of the movie she removes a yellow jumper to reveal a white shirt underneath. After her flashback scene to when she was a child we see her still staring out the window but she is wearing a brown jumper and a brown jacket.

The house of the Greek family is referred to as having Corinthian columns, like the Parthenon. While the columns on the house are in fact Corinthian, the architecture of the Parthenon is Doric, which dates several hundreds of years earlier than the Corinthian (more ornamented) style.

When young Toula and her "friends" are in the car on their way to school, Toula's father's gloves disappear and reappear numerous times as he is driving.

When young Toula's dad drops her and her friends off at school, and stops her to remind her she "should be proud to be Greek", the window changes position throughout the dialogue.

Trivia:
The opening scene where Nia Vardalos and Michael Constantine travel in the early morning to open the restaurant was one of the very last scenes filled. Vardalos said that all of the other cast members had finished their scenes and had left, and so the sadness she and Constantine had in that car scene reflected the tearful goodbyes they'd said.

According to Nia Vardalos, paying for catering during the film proved not to be a problem. Wherever the film was being shot, whenever local Greek restaurants learned about it, they sent over lots of free food.

well my friend i bet you dont even know that you have used five different greek words to your argument so please realise that you have failed to insult us. if we ever put aside such foolish and arrogant behaviours we might get along with eachother someday. thank God there are some turks who are not as racist and as inhibited as you are. you should be ashamed

By the way the Greek adult word for "shit" is "σκατά"(=skata). The word "κακά"(=caca) is used by (and for) babies and small children.

[LeonAmarantos]

Give me one word and i wiil proove you that is of Greek origin...

:-)

Although I think the girls meant "shit" when they said caca, I don't think they knew it as sounding like a Greek word. Toula was saying how she felt jealous of the more Americanized girls with their Wonder Bread sandwiches. I doubt they'd be Greek in that case, they were probably just typical, plain Americans. I think they were laughing because caca is playground slang for shit.

Although what you said kind of matches what Toula's dad was saying how every word is derived from Greek, haha.

7:17 Gus: she has a very mean punch. lolz why didn't I catch that when I first saw this movie? I laughed so hard at that part when gus said that his mother (the grandmother) had a mean punch and i didn't even know what it meant until now. XD

[LeonAmarantos]

"Caca" in Greek sounds like "shit" (that's why they lough at, they might know this greek word).
