Monday Moments - Greek fest

It was a dreary Thursday - what the heck - movie matinee and some popcorn. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is ridiculous, silly, unnecessary, and I enjoyed it. Don't expect anything new. Expect stereotypical behavior - noisy nosy Greeks in everybody's business and pushing food the whole time. The plot line is unoriginal - the father died and now it's time to go back to his hometown in Greece and have a reunion. Try to find any of his original living friends to pass on the father's journal. 

Nia Vardalos is the writer and star and she's very personable. She's not "movie star beauty" and has used  her Greek background and ethnic beauty to her advantage. John Corbett as her husband, Ian, plays the white guy outsider with good humor. Lainie Kazan is the matriarch and they stay in touch with her via zoom. Andrea Martin as Aunt Voula is the eccentric fun elder.  

Greece is a gorgeous backdrop, as is the quaint village and the food. It's a fluff short movie with funny lines and a message of FAMILY FIRST, and that's nice. It's probably streaming by now -  eat, drink, and dance...loudly in your own home.
