I recently saw the movie my Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, It is a good movie. I really enjoyed it, It stars all the same cast from the original movies and a few new people added this time in the movie.
The story continues with the Dad Gus passing away and also Toula's husbands dad Ian also passed away and this all happened a year ago, the feeling of the passing of the father's is still fresh and raw.
They are all moving along in their own way, the Mom Maria is suffering from the early stages of Dementia,she is being cared for by her daughter Athena and Athena's husband Yianni also her brother Nick who has moved back into the childhood family home, and he is recently separated and has moved back to the ways he used to act.
Toula who we all know she is still happily married to her husband Ian, who's recently retired from teaching and their daughter Paris is having some troubles in college which you will find out about when you watch the movie,she is away from her family for the first time.
Toula received an Invitation from the mayor of Vrisi, her dads village where he grew up, Toula and her family are headed off to Greece for a reunion.
Aunt Voula sets up a reunion with Aristotle as her assistant for the trip, Paris and Aristotle had a brief relationship in college and will not tell anyone until they are ready. Toula wants to fulfill her father's dying wish he wants her to give his childhood journal to his friends that he grew up his three childhood friends.
They make it to Greece and meet the Mayor Victory, she is a distant relative of theirs she leads them on their way to Athens, while they are on their way to Athens they see some sight spots and they have a ceremonial swim when they make it to their homeland.
When they arrive to their destination they find it empty and not lively, they eventually find the house their father lived in as a little boy, they are unsure about the house but decided to go with it and the make the best of the situation with living like their father did.
The next morning they meet someone named Alexandra their father's old flame, which she reveals to them and they also find out from Victory that there isn't a family reunion.
Victory is hoping if they invite enough people they will come and bring in business for the village the Portokalos family is the first to arrive, It is also revealed Victory is only the mayor because there are very few people left in the village and no one else wanted the job.
The next day they try to get use to their new surroundings and Toula goes on a search for her father's friends none of the people she talks to seem to remember who the friends are.
They give her a lot of shots of a drink and it makes her tipsy, she remembers a man watching her. Paris is brushing off Aristoles pursuit of her she is hiding a secret of her own. Nick plays a prank on Ian which you will see when you watch the movie, Nick is looking for a tree in the village and Ian goes to the beach and he befriends a Monk and he tells him all about the village and people.
That night they have dinner all together and they meet Peter, the man Toula saw watching her his mom Alexandra reveals he is her illegitimate son with Gus who she never told him about he is Nick's and Toula's half brother.
They also meet Christos Peter's Son and Quasar Alexandra's assistant originally from Syria, they and Paris all to go a club after dinner and reveal to them they are in a relationship together and intend to marry each other and plan for their future together.
The rest of the movie is very lively and entertaining and has a funny twists and turns that go along in the movie when you watch it is a happy and loving ending.
It will leave your heart filled with joy and laughter and keep you smiling. The cast does an outstanding job in the movie, the scenery is absolutely amazing and beautiful.
When you watch the movie you will feel like you are part of the story and probably feel like you can relate to the characters in a way.
I decided to write about this movie because it is one of my favorite movies, and because it reminds me of my big family, and how everyone is always together laughing and smiling, having a good time with one another, and everyone cooking together.
My family is very protective over me they all have their own way of protecting me and caring for me. My family loves how I keep everyone connected and talking with one another because they then get to talk with one another, if it is not face to face at least it can be over the telephone.
My family knows how much I love and care for them, I send my family messages almost every day because I want them to know much I love and care for them and how blessed I am to have them in my life. I think I am like the character Toula in the movie, she does everything for her family, she has a big loving heart like me, I would also do anything for my family just like she does.
I did zoom birthday parties for my family each month to celebrate their birthdays during Covid It was a lot of fun, family members got to see other family members we haven't seen or they haven't seen in a while, there was a lot of joy in my families faces and they all loved it that made me very happy to see them happy!
I love how the movie explains how much love is in the family and how they are always there for each other and can always count on one another.
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves big happy family families and wants to laugh and smile! It is a wonderful Movie!
