My Big Fat Greek Wedding (DVD)

My Big Fat Greek Wedding tells the story of Toula Portokalos. She’s 30 years old and still not married, which means as a nice Greek girl she’s a failure. Then one day she meets the ultimate unattainable guy — Ian Miller. He’s tall and handsome but definitely not Greek, and their courtship is an Olympian culture clash. Can Ian handle Toula’s parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and several centuries of Greek heritage? One thing’s for sure — with Ian's proposal, they’re all headed for a big, fat Greek wedding. The story was originally developed by Vardalos as a one-woman stage show. Rita Wilson (Tom Hanks’ wife) saw the play and convinced Hanks to produce a movie version. According to Vardalos, when Hanks first called her, she hung up on him because she thought it was a joke. In the movie, all of the guests on the bride’s side of the church were actual members of Vardalos’ family. Vardalos’ real-life husband, Ian Gomez, plays Ian’s best friend. Product Description
