My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
Kirk Jones directs the next chapter of the film that will be once again produced by Rita Wilson and Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman. A Portokalos family secret brings the beloved characters back together for an even bigger and Greeker wedding. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 talks plenty about the need to change with the times. But no way does this movie buy into the concept of practice what you preach.

Time has passed for the Portokalos family, but everyone is exactly the same as the first time we saw them. Such a regressive aspect is just one of many problems that dwell within My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.

There is so much food, music, dancing and crying that you want to come out, at the end, and find a quiet place to watch paint dry. Unless, of course, you loved MBFGW1 and have spent 14 years waiting for MBFGW2.

Feels about as fresh as two-day old spanakopita.

While it can be a little slapstick-y, Nia Vardolos puts such discernible, infectious love into her work (both in performing the role and writing the screenplay) that it is a pleasure to watch.

Pass the baklava.

What we're left with is something that recalls Crocodile Dundee in L.A. - the misbegotten notion that bringing back characters long past their sell-by date is a good idea.

It's a big fat Greek dud.

What once bubbled up from a sincere love of Greek family has now congealed into the all-too-familiar Hollywood tale of milking a cash cow until it cries for mercy.

The second film is likewise sustained by a generosity of spirit you don't often get in self-penned star vehicles.

Keeping all of the strong personalities corralled while keeping sequel-itis to a minimum is a formidable achievement.

It manages to rehash the original, almost entirely, while lacking nearly all the things that made the first film, despite its flaws, compelling.

With the original cast back, and Vardalos scripting again, it doesn't stray far from the 'overbearing family' formula that dominated the original.
