Still unmarried at 30-years-old, she works at Dancing Zorba’s, the Greek restaurant owned by her parents, Gus (MICHAEL CONSTANTINE) and Maria (LAINIE KAZAN) and smells like garlic bread. Vowing that she’d rather stab herself in the eye with a red-hot poker than work in the restaurant for the rest of her life, Toula is ready for a change. Unfortunately, the rest of her family is not. After taking a job at her aunt’s travel agency, she falls in love with Ian Miller (JOHN CORBETT), a high school teacher who is tall, handsome and definitely not Greek. Toula isn’t sure which will be more upsetting to her old-fashioned father, that Ian is a Xeno (foreigner) or that he’s a vegetarian. But none of it matters once he asks her to marry him. Toula knows that if he can pass muster with her crazy relatives and get baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church...their big fat Greek wedding, including one powder blue limousine, two ice sculptures and ten bridesmaids in turquoise dresses, will be a piece of cake, five layers high with a plastic staircase and a fountain of champagne. -- © 2002 IFC Films [More]

[DVD Details]
  • My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Special Edition
  • (Romantic Comedy) Toula Portokalos is a devoted daughter in a big, crazy Greek family. Working at her father's restaurant, she hides behind a mop of mousy brown hair and thick glasses, keeping her family close and the world at a distance. But one day, 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.
