It’s sweet, just like the original movie. It was faint praise then, and it still is.

The Hollywood Reporter
That it all works to the extent that it does is due to its undeniably sweet depiction of a close-knit extended family whose members truly care for and help each other. It's cinematic wish fulfillment in this era of broken families and far-off relatives who keep in touch via social media.

Movie Nation
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is a veritable feast of low-hanging fruit. The laughs are obvious, we see them coming a mile away.

Entertainment Weekly
The winking ethnic jokes weren’t all that revolutionary in the first film, and this time around, they feel even more stale.

Variety
Every bit as sitcom-ish and saccharine as its predecessor, but considerably less distinctive.

Screen Daily
Even given that lazy stereotyping is the point of her schtick, Vardalos’ broad routine hasn’t aged well, her heavily-(and widely-) accented ‘oily’ Greek family an uncomfortable, almost retro fit for today’s global sensitivities. Apart from that, the gags just aren’t that funny.

Village Voice
There's little drama here, but there is a touching sense of reflection.

Austin Chronicle
Admittedly, the original had its unruly moments, but there’s little to no discipline here. The storyline goes in six different directions, and the actors are unleashed in an apparent free-for-all as they vie for center stage at the Parthenon.
