My Big Fat Greek Wedding

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (the highest grossing independent film to date) was written by its star Nia Vardalos, and was adapted from her off-Broadway show. Life is not very easy for the frumpy Toula Portokalos (Vardalos), a single, Greek-American woman in her thirties. Her mother (Kazan) and father (Constantine) are extremely distressed that Toula is not married to a Greek man, making Greek babies, and nourishing her Greek family with Greek food. One day, Toula decides to make a change for the better by trading her glasses for contacts, applying a bit of make-up, and dressing up. And when she finally lands a date with the seemingly perfect schoolteacher Ian Miller (Corbett), she must deal with one more family upset: he's not Greek, and he's a vegetarian. (Suzanne Hodges)
