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.

We just watched Steel Magnolias. Somehow I missed it for all these decades. Damn it's funny! Maybe it's just that I get the culture and those types of people. 🤷🏻 OTOH, my wife is Filipino and she laughed her ass off.
