The Greek customs in the film are very different from those in mainstream American films.kind of real and warm family atmosphere, relaxed and humorous dialogue and clever interpretation of cultural conflicts touch people's hearts.
"My Grand Greek Wedding" puts the romantic comedy in a pattern of ethnic and cultural conflict, and the jokes of various customs are pleasant and have a certain universality.Only a director who has a thorough understanding of the Greeks can make such a heart-warming movie.
The director cleverly used Greek family values to create jokes. Combining romance, funny and cultural identity discussion in one furnace. It is full of meaning, and the laughter is touching.
In fact, from the perspective of the plot setting and the shooting techniques, the film is lacklustre. But the secret of success is that filmmakers used the Hollywood movie model to conquer the Hollywood market itself.
