\"\"\/Somehow Olga managed not to see “My Big Fat Greek Wedding<\/a>“, so we had to rent it and watch it. I’ve seen it before in the cinema, but since that was before my blogging times, I decided to post about it.<\/p>\n

The film is a nice comedy about the wedding of Greek woman to a Jewish man. From what I have seen, cultural differences are a good source of humor and this film does exploit this resource to a good extent. It doesn’t go into showing too much or explaining everything. It just provides a number of funny episodes and templates. If you get them – good for you, if not – there are more.<\/p>\n

Good mix of acting, traditional music, languages, and fun – deserves a 7 out of 10 in my book. :)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
