This is a real movie with nice actors and a nice plot , definitely this is not an Oscar movie but includes whatever people wants to see and relax . This is not a brainstormer this is a relax and spa movietherapy. Excellent job to everyone involved to this movie they have done their jobs very well i loved the first scene on the bridge singing the "born to be alive" it was better than million dollars comedies. Also the cast and all characters was excellent , Mykonos and its people was amazing and the photography was reflecting the real beauty of Greek islands, this is a movie that worths to watch don't look at the votes on IMDb it doesn't reflects the amazing work that all people made for this movie. I have watched thousands stupid Hollywood movies this year so this one was refreshing and enjoyable.So people do you like Mykonos life? Then have fun. I m voting 7/10 because i really enjoyed it
Nick Giannopoulos and his team have crafted another genuinely funny movie. This is a character driven, rare comedy whose simplicity belies its talents. Rare because Giannopoulos' humour comes from the heart. This lends much pathos to the characters we meet in 'Kings of Mykonos'. It warms us to, and sustains, our interest in a storyline that is clever without being contrived, is flawed without ever being pretentious.
The enjoyment Giannopoulos and his cast get out of every moment and every scene should be in the textbook for comedy filmmaking. It's a skill many bigger names in the industry will never master. Giannopoulos is an Aussie gem, and Kings of Mykonos reflects every facet of his talent.

I'll admit this may be more like a 6 or 7 but from a cinematography point of view their are some great shots that would probably go unnoticed by most. Add to this images of my home town and some very funny one liners this makes better viewing on the 3/4th attempt on DVD.
There was a lot of juvenille comedy and coarse subject matter which is cringe worthy but that is the kind of style for ethnic comedies.
I gave it extra points for the simple fact that there where multiple characters that were exact representations of people I know, which is what these close to home films are meant to express. Just a shame the rudeness didn't qualify for a family viewing.
"watch where I'm going" Superb

I have not seen the first movie that acted as something approaching a first part therefore I would not comment on elements of continuity and coherence.This movie had a mixed reception in Greece to say the least, because many of the stereotypical attitudes that attributes to Greeks and Greek-Australians are negative in themselves: financial corruption, nepotism etc.
On the other hand, to use a term that has been the title of another Greek movie that was shot in Mykonos-it has many "beautiful people" in it, notably Makrypoulia and Copolla, who play a Greek singer and former Miss Italy respectively.
The funniest aspect of the film had to do with the appearance and behaviour of the two German archaeologists who finally make a discovery that acts as a catalyst in the development of the plot.
I can not say that it was a quality movie but it is fun, it is shot in a very charming place, Mykonos, as the title suggests and has some memorable appearances, if not performances. Good clean summer fun.

I was amazed that this movie got such a low score! I mean, OK, it's not Oscar material, but it's a funny movie! Having seen both films (Wog Boy, and TKOM), I enjoyed this one, even more.
I agree that the ending of the film was abrupt (not confusing), Kevin Sorbo was a absolutely delight to watch (having seen his 'Hercules' role, adds to the "delight" part). I have been in Mykonos many times, the portrayal is over-stretched, but within acceptable "limits". And anyway, it helps the story beautifully.
Don't miss this movie, if afterwards you "die" to go to Mykonos, don't blame me ;-) (even if you don't, it would be time well spent).
