      Rolling Stone

      Like Vardalos and Corbett, who play their roles with vibrant charm, the film, directed by Joel Zwick, is heartfelt and hilarious in ways you can't fake. It's a keeper.

      New Times (L.A.)

      It's light fantasy, but lovely and astute.

      Vardalos is a breath of fresh air. After all the little nipped and tucked bunnies we've been seeing onscreen for so long, we forget what real women look like.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      With Corbett's laidback persona nicely countering Vardalos's authorial performance, the picture radiates a pure affability that's awfully attractive. My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a very slim movie that succeeds on its own modest terms without pretense or apology.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      It's a buoyant comedy with more warmth and generosity of spirit than anything else in theaters right now.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Funny without out ever making fun, Vardalos mixes elements of ethnic stand-up, Cinderella romance and Bridget Loves Bernie-style situation comedy, all grounded in something very real.

      Charlotte Observer

      Vardalos is of Greek ancestry, which makes stereotyping permissible: She can tease Greeks, just as Italians can safely mock Italians or Jews can poke fun at Jews. But isn't it demeaning to reduce your heritage to clich?s?

      The New York Times

      An amiable, offhanded comedy about ethnic identity and last-chance romance.
