  • In 2002, writer and actress Nia Vardalos created a true romcom film phenomenon with "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." She had taken her story about, as The New York Times described it, a woman "emerging from her cocoon," from page to stage to screen. And it was a huge success, pulling in more than $368 million at the box office. It was a story Hollywood hadn't seen before, and it was highly refreshing for a huge audience.
    Vardalos seems poised for superstardom, but she's remained relatively quiet in the years since. Yes, there was a "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" sequel and a short-lived TV series, and she appeared in a few other films, but Vardalos never had the ubiquity that so many other romcom stars have. Some of that has been by choice, some not. Here's why you don't see this "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" actress anymore.

    9:00 awful I was one of those ICU RN healthcare workers who didn't get a raise who didn't get paid time off we had to use our own sick time if we got sick, who are forced to get a vaccine and who were working while the rest of the world was safe at home. I know not everybody was safe at home but it's just a saying. Holding patient's hands will face timing their family to say goodbye, putting on their favorite song if they were on a ventilator, excetera PTSD at its finest. Well now I can't walk or work I'm in a wheelchair and I was just widowed the same day my dad died. I wish we had even gotten a discount in the cafeteria at the hospital. So, belated thank you for helping do what you did during the pandemic❤

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3: A Slow Descent
    In the world of cinematic sequels, the stakes are often high, and expectations can be even higher. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" attempted to recapture the magic of the original film that stole our hearts years ago, but sadly, it falls short in several ways. While it's not entirely devoid of charm, this instalment lacks the spark and vivacity that made its predecessor a beloved classic.
    One of the most glaring issues with this film is its pacing. The story unfolds at a sluggish pace, making the two-hour runtime feel like an eternity. Unlike the first film, which had a delightful energy and a constant sense of progression, this sequel meanders through its narrative, leaving the audience longing for more engaging moments.
    A significant let-down in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" is the script itself. The witty and culturally rich humour that defined the original is notably absent. It's almost as if the writer lost touch with the essence of Greek culture this time around. The vibrant characters from the first film are still present, but their interactions lack the depth and authenticity that made them endearing in the first place. It's as if the scriptwriter relied on recycled gags and stereotypes rather than exploring the richness of Greek traditions and family dynamics.
    Moreover, the film struggles to find its footing when it comes to its storytelling. The original had a clear beginning, middle, and end, with a satisfying arc for its characters. In contrast, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" feels disjointed and lacks a well-defined narrative structure. It fails to provide a compelling reason for revisiting these characters after all these years.
    Despite a talented ensemble cast reprising their roles, including Nia Vardalos and John Corbett, the lackluster material they have to work with limits their ability to shine. While they do their best to inject life into the film, the uninspired script and plodding pace are significant obstacles to overcome.
    In the end, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" is a disappointing follow-up to a beloved classic. It struggles to capture the magic and charm of the original, feeling like a missed opportunity to further explore the cultural richness and humour that endeared audiences to this Greek-American family. While it may offer a few nostalgic moments for fans of the first film, it ultimately falls flat and leaves us wishing for a more inspired sequel.
