Hey, remember that time you got swept along by the churning sea of humanity on their way to My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Hollywood is praying that you’ll forget how truly awful it turned out to be and pony up for a similarly insulting comedy trafficking in broad ethnic stereotypes and making the case that women are only tolerable when they’re getting laid. Wedding’s admittedly charming Nia Vardalos stars as a dissatisfied tour guide in Greece being trailed by an obnoxious group of tourists (including poor, poor Richard Dreyfuss) that acts as her de-facto family, dispensing lame chick-flick wisdom and shoving her in the direction of a sensitive Greek man-slab. His name is Poupi Cacas, a prime example of the sort of wit you’ll encounter at My Bigger Fatter Greeker Wedding.
