Customer Review: Excellent!
A great way to start a classical music collection. It’s nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding Toula Portokalos is a quiet, devoted daughter in a big, hectic, crazy Greek family. Working at her father’s restaurant, “Dancing Zorba’s,” she hides behind a mop of mousy brown hair and thick, impenetrable glasses, keeping her family close and the world at a distance. But one day at the restaurant, she finds herself pouring coffee for a man so strikingly good-looking, that he inspires her to change her life - and the way she sees the world - forever. With a new hairdo, wardrobe, contact lenses, and most important of all, a whole new attitude, Toula steps out into the world a new woman, all ready to meet her man. Ian Miller is tall, handsome, but definitely not Greek. And whether he can handle Toula, her parents, her aunts, uncles, cousins and several centuries of Greek culture remains to be seen. But when you see the world through Toula’s eyes, anything is possible!
Customer Review: it has a few problems to it..
I cannot fathom why Nia Vardalos insisted on playing Toula, her acting is mediocre at best and actually diminishes the believability of the story.
There are also a number of exaggerations in the whole “crazy greek family” setup, eeeeeveryone in her family is so crazy and tacky, and only SHE, brought up by same people mind you, is a model of style and taste.
She is embarassed by her family yet has no balls to live a life on her own, without them.. what the hell?!
First time you watch this movie, it’s funny, as all the exaggerations actually surprise you and make you laugh, but on second viewing it starts sucking.. Too bad.
