You know...the whole thing about how sequels are never as good as the first one. That is not the case for this film.
Toula (Vardalos) feels like she has to fix everything, but while doing so her own life is falling apart with her daughter going off to college and her marriage having zero romance. Things get worse when her mother, Maria (Lainie Kazan), finds out that her and her husband Gus (Constantine) are not really married. Will Toula be able to get everything back on track or will everything fall to pieces?
What I loved about this sequel is that everyone is in it. Usually with sequels some of the actors die or want more money and need to be replaced, but not here. Everyone came back and it's awesome. There were plenty of laughs and Aunt Voula (Andrea Martin) made the film in my opinion.
Another aspect of the film I liked was that even though Toula and Ian (Corbett) are the main characters, it shows that it isn't their story. They had their story in the first one and now it's time to move on. Yes technically, they are still around, but the plot doesn't focus on them as much as it focuses on the daughter and the parents. I think if it did focus on Toula and Ian the most, it wouldn't have been as successful since we already saw them in the first film.
I really liked it. It's a feel good movie and makes you appreciate family. 4 popcorns.
