Three movies in and the franchise is running low on ideas, even as it tries to stay modern. Our My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 review:
premiered in 2002, it was a surprise pop-culture phenomenon. The romantic comedy, written by and starring Nia Vardalos, remains the top-grossing romantic comedy of all time and garnered Vardalos an Oscar nomination.
Seven years may have passed between the second and third movies, but only a year or so has passed in Toula’s world. The second movie ended with Paris being dropped off at her college dorm. In, Paris has just completed her first year at NYU. The decision to keep Paris college-aged doesn’t make a lot of sense. It certainly seems like having Paris be a young adult would bring the franchise full circle and provide more dramatic fodder.
As both director and screenwriter, Vardalos tries to infuse the script with current issues. Syrian refugee Qamar is in love with a young Greek man whose parents only want him to marry someone from Greece. The village’s mayor Victory is vivacious, charming and nonbinary. But both Victory and Qamar are underdeveloped characters with not enough screen time.
