I love the fact that Tula has her glow-up and bettering her life BEFORE she official meets the guy and falls inlove. she worked on being happy with herself and a job she felt more comfortable in and even took college classes to better herself. then once she had her groove going and practically glowing, the guy sees that and thats when they fall inlove. that's definitely a positive message for women out there. you can't just wait for a relationship to be happy. work on bettering your life and being happy with yourself first and usually the rest will fall into place.

Loved your reaction, as always.💖 The spitting is a traditional thing, but it's portrayed in an exaggerated manner.

My husband comes from a gigantic family and while he's not Greek, I definitely felt like Ian when I met his family. Just on his mom's side, he has over 100 first cousins and he can rattle off their names without blinking. When we were planning our wedding, we had to curb his urge to invite every single relative. My mother said, "any aunt/uncle who is single can bring 1 cousin as their Plus 1." And his relatives have tried to feed me weird foods full of mayonnaise.

Luckily, I love being considered Greek (the family will take any excuse to make sure "you" are Greek too.) When I was 10, I was playing with my best friend (Gus. also 10). His mother, who was a distant relative-and Greek, of course, asked my parents if they were willing to agree for Gus and I to be engaged NOW, and we would get married when we turned 18! My dad seriously considered it, but my mom put her foot down.The thing about the women becoming a baby machine was very true, and she knew I wouldnt be happy in that role. 40+ years later, I'm single and happy.

Greek weddings sometimes include the custom of breaking plates or glasses, which is known as plate smashing. The tradition may have originated from an ancient practice of ritually "killing" plates to celebrate happy occasions. It may also symbolize new beginnings, as the couple is leaving behind their old life and starting a new one. The tradition of lifting the bride and groom on chairs during the horah, a celebratory dance, is a Jewish wedding tradition. The chairs are placed in the middle of a circle, and guests lift the couple above their heads. The tradition is part of entertaining the bride on her wedding day. The actress who played Tula costarred with Toni Collette (the mom in "Sixth Sense") in 2004's "Connie and Carla". For Pride Month, you should react to it. It's a wonderful fun film, as good as this film was.

Great reaction to a funny and heartfelt story & movie. FYI, the very old Greek tradition that requires wedding guests to “spit” on the Bride and Groom, of course is pretend and they are not literally spitting. But by pretending that they are spitting on the happy couple, by doing this the guest is protecting them from evil spirits!

One of my favorite movies. Granted I'm more of a horror/true crime documentaries person, so rom coms are a guilty pleasure of mine.

This movie is 100% accurate. My Dad looked and talked just like the Dad in this movie, lol.

@alx_gr1 Месяц назад

It was accurate for first generation Greek immigrants, because that's how things were in Greece when they left (50's-60's). Nothing to do with today's Greece though.

@@alx_gr1WDYM? I was born in America, and so was my mom but both her older siblings were born in Greece so I'm not sure if that makes me 1st or 2nd gen, but I'm only 18 and watched the movie when I was like 14, I always thought it was extremely accurate, even to this day

@alx_gr1 Месяц назад

@@sprinkles06 I mean what I said. It's the culture first generation Greeks brought with them and the next generations also kept to connect with homeland. It has nothing to do with Greece today.

This is a great movie! John Corbett and Nia Vardalos were both the lead characters in "I Hate Valentine's Day" too, it's a lesser known movie but still another great romantic comedy movie.

Asia, you confused the actor who plays Ian in this, John Corbett, with the actor who plays the stepbrother in Clueless, Paul Rudd. This is based on the true story of Nia Vardalos who plays Tula, and her real-life husband, who appears in this movie as Ian's friend. This is a great feel-good movie, glad you enjoyed it!

I think you guys would love The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It’s about a group of British seniors who can no longer afford to live in England and move to India to what they think is a fancy hotel. Really funny and heartwarming.

Paul Rudd was the stepbrother in Clueless. He was not in this movie. John Corbett, the guy who plays Ian, was from Northern Exposure and Sex in the City

@IslesYankeeLady Месяц назад

Andrea Martin (Aunt Voula) is often on Broadway, and she’s hysterical. The line where she asks “Ian” to touch his hair was improvised because she forgot the real line. She’s a very funny grandma character in the film “Little Italy” where she’s playing an Italian that time… that movie isn’t nearly as solid as this one, but I like it.
