Featured reviews
I had a hard time sitting through the entire movie. It was that bad. Almost cringe worthy. I loved the original, it's one of my favorites. So after watching part three I was greatly let down.
Even though it's the original cast there was no heart in the film. Everyone felt like strangers. There was no connection. They tried to make it funny but it felt forced and scripted. The music did not help either, it was out of place. Everything about the movie felt empty. The lines really didn't help.
For being in the home country there wasn't enough drama or loudness. And I think that was because there wasn't enough people. Having a dead town did not help. The plot was thin and there really wasn't much to the movie. The one wedding that they did have, I didn't feel much for the couple, didn't really know them or care about them. I honestly thought for a moment there they were going to have a lesbian couple with the vibes they were giving off, but that turned out to be nothing. Which again was confusing.
They had the wrong actress for the daughter. She felt like a complete stranger. Nothing about her was likeable or relatable. And the drama of her love life feels so empty. And almost confusing. To the point where I am asking what is this?

If you read reviews to determine whether or not to go view a movie, I am here to tell you DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY!! I don't even know where to begin. It was a disaster from beginning to end. It actually made me cringe.
The movie was filled with aimless sentimental moments whose placement in the film didn't even make sense. I only laughed twice and both times were at the still funny, and fan favorite Aunt. For her only I rate this film a 2.
We met some new family in the film and then barely even got to know them before they were having huge sentimental moments so we couldn't even be happy for them because we didn't have a chance to develop feelings for the characters.
If you love this franchise like I do, skip this 3rd installment, grab the popcorn and have a ball watching MBFGW 1 and 2 instead.

How are people making reviews on a movie, the day before it was released? 🤔
It's like people making a bad review on a restaurant that hasn't opened yet. Do people not realize that people check?
I personally enjoy these movies. Family friendly movies rare now unless it's animated. Families need more things to watch together that isn't animated or cheesy characters in weird costumes.
If you weren't a fan of the other 2 movies, you probably won't like this one. If you like her work, you probably will. Just like any other sequel or remake, go in with an open mind and no expectations. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I loved the first Greek Wedding movie. It was charming and poignant and had universal. "annoying family" appeal. The second movie was not nearly as good, though it was interesting to see what happened and it was nice to revisit the charming characters. That latter attribute is the only good part on the third installment.
Seeing the characters is pleasant. The story is contrived and much of the dialogue is silly. The conflicts all seem forced and fake. Some of the gags are humorous. Andrea Martin is still great. Many of the shots are poorly conceived. The beauty of the Greek isles is nice to see. But it feels a little like BFGW1 crossed with her Greek tour leader comedy "My Life in Ruins", but both of those movies are better.
I like Nia Vardolos.. I just didn't like this. Movie much.

This film might be with worst piece of editing ever, no really, it could be that bad. There were a lot of story lines and a lot of subplots. But it really felt as though someone was given an ultimatum to make the move 92 minutes no matter what, but they also did not want to cut any subplots, running gags, scenery or anything. So the film felt like a frenetic mess. It can be hard enough to make a comedy like this that also has it's poignant moments. But every scene seemed so rushed that the funny moments never had time to hit and felt so rushed it was not funny. And anything that might have been poignant did not have time to sink in. I even felt like in one scene they referenced something from a previous scene that I think was cut in editing. Or maybe it just happened so fast I missed it... It felt like it was edited by a 12 year old for a tiktok channel. I think there was a lot to work with in the film, which makes the disaster all that much sadder. I think there might have been a decent movie here had they slowed down and let the story develop and unfold. Too bad. 3/10.

- TriviaMichael Constantine, who previously portrayed the family's patriarch Gus Portokalos, sadly passed away in 2021. He gave the movie his blessing before his passing. He told writer and director Nia Vardalos he wouldn't be able to join them for the third film and his wish was that they went on. "I wrote the screenplay to reflect Michael's decision and will always treasure his last messages to me, hoping we were filming soon," she said.
- GoofsWhen they arrive at Greece and exit the airport, the scenery outside is not from the actual airport, but from the center of Athens. Athens International Airport is located 33 km southeast of Athens, at a suburb called Spata.
