I just watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding, good movie, but not what I expected (piefed.zip)

My gf and I were loooking for a romcom to watch the other day, she suggested this one.

I don't really know what I expected, probably something more along the lines of Mamma Mia. Based on what I remembered from the posters, I even thought the movie was happening in Greece, but actually they never leave Chicago.

The movie in itself is fine, it's a low-stake, enjoyable movie, but I guess I was just expecting something else.

My favorite overlooked rom-com is Mike Nichol’s “Down with Love” starring Ewan Macgregor and Renee Zellweger. It’s Nichol’s homage to the sex comedies of the early 1960s.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm not much of a rom-com person, but this is a fun movie and Ewan McGregor is great in it.
