Happy Fall Y’all!
Last weekend, my daughter Madilyn and I went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. Her choice. Not mine. I was hoping for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or The Inventor or Blue Beetle (despite the horrible reviews I have read). I was planning on seeing MBFGW3 when it was released for home viewing but plans changed.
Here is my review: Cute. If you saw the first two, awesome! The film picks up a few years after the last. If you don’t remember the last one, its ok. You get a recap in the beginning of the film to get all caught up.
I have to say, I enjoyed this film WAY more then I thought I would. The story was light hearted and interesting. There was some mystery going on. There was a love story line. There was a lot of IYKYK going on as well. Meaning, if you saw the first two films or are Greek, you know. Would I recommend the film for theaters? no. It was good but not movie theater worthy, in my opinion. This is a great binge worthy sequel to watch with the other two over a long weekend or a day off from work.
Do I recommend skipping it? NOPE! This is a must see for the beauty and desire to travel to Greece. When I created my box this month in celebration of World Tourism Day (Sept 27th), I was not thinking about MBFGW3. I was just thinking about how amazing films are to bring travel to so many and inspire travel. This film has me and Madilyn wanting to jump on the next plane to Athens. The quality of the film stunning. If Greece is anything close to what we saw on the big screen, we will not be disappointed.
Greece is on my list of places to travel and MBFGW3 just confirmed and supported all the reasons I want to go. Beach. Beauty. Food (not the lamb). The culture. If you have any interest in traveling to Greece, I highly recommend this film. If you are not sure if you want to go to Greece, I highly recommend this film. At times, I ignored the story line just to watch the scenery and take in the beauty of Greece.
Happy Cuddles,
