I think Nia Vardalos’ ex-husband Ian Gomez is hot.

My big fat Greek Mama 2 was a DUD at the box office so why would they make a third movie 🎥

by Anonymousreply 2May 11, 2023 1:05 PM

R2 it was only a flop compared to the first one. However, it was actually financially successful for them. It cost 18 million to make and they didn’t spend that much on advertising. It cost a little over 30 million total and they earned 90 million worldwide. it did make profit which is why they’re making a third.

The first was a sleeper hit that became a surprise blockbuster. The amount of money the first one made is rare for a romcom, yet alone a small Indie romcom that was made for $5 million.

Because nobody in Hollywood has novel ideas anymore. All they churn out are sequels, Super Hero movies, and remakes.

Did anyone ask for this sequel?

Nia looks good.

Are their grandchildren getting married? Are they throupling? What’s left?

I remember in the first one they had a toenail painting scene and I could clearly see some dirt in one of the actor's toenails. Just say no.

This looks like a fun time! It's not really about the plot, it's about taking a virtual vacation in Greece. Watch the beautiful landscape, the beautiful Mediterranean men, and maybe laugh at one comedic line from Andrea Martin. What do you guys think of John Corbett? He's definitely hot, but his "blonde himbo golden retriever" personality is a turn off

by Anonymousreply 9May 11, 2023 2:36 PM

I (inexplicably) loved the first movie. Didn't see the second. I will definitely watch this one, if only because of the Greek scenery. Nia looks great.

[What do you guys think of John Corbett?]

Dry and bland as day-old bread.

R9 I like him. The whole point of him is that he isn’t Greek. She married a non-Greek, and in Greek tradition you stay with your own people, same as Italians and with certain Jewish types etc.

Nia is actually responding in the YouTube comments! She wants us to know that Lainie Kazan is in the movie (she doesn't seem to appear in the trailer).

Didn’t Nia also fill the void by making that bullshit movie about a tour guide in Athens?

What a surprise. It’s another Greek ugly duckling story. She’s so pitifully bland and one-note, yet she keeps getting work because she appeals to flyover fraus who still go to the movies. She’s like an ethnic Bonnie Hunt.

by Anonymousreply 16May 11, 2023 8:55 PM

Nia Vardalos is the poorman's Kathy Najimy.

by Anonymousreply 17May 11, 2023 8:57 PM

Yes. Only flyover fraus go to the movies lmao.

And Greeks don’t really appeal to Middle America like that.

by Anonymousreply 18May 11, 2023 9:11 PM

Nia wrote and starred in "Connie & Carla," a genderbended modern take on "Some Like it Hot" so she's not a one trick pony, but the studios will only give money to a guaranteed cash cow. The Big Fat Greek Universe is it for her, if she wants to keep working.

by Anonymousreply 19May 11, 2023 9:29 PM

Connie & Carla flopped tragically, sadly. As did the Greek Wedding TV series.

by Anonymousreply 20May 11, 2023 9:31 PM

So, it's basically Mamma Mia with lots of exaggerated working class Greek immigrant stereotypes, instead of songs and pseudo-hippie, middle-upper class WASP dullards.

Yet one more uninspired film to avoid, in short.

R21 Mamma Mia was basically Buona Sera Mrs Campbell done In Greece instead of Italy. So much for that tepid ABBA movie analogy.......OUCH!

I loved the first movie and have watched it multiple times. (The second one was bad)

But, this third one looks good though. I’ll watch when it comes to Netflix or HBO

by Anonymousreply 29May 11, 2023 10:45 PM

The first is a classic. The second was terrible I hear.

by Anonymousreply 30May 11, 2023 10:49 PM

Connie and Carla was awful and My Life in Ruins was a ripoff of the hilarious If it's Tuesday this Must be Belgium. Better luck this time, Nia.

The brother had a bad facelift

I got sick of Corbett on SATC, boring character. I read he is cruel to Bo Derek which has turned me off to him.

by Anonymousreply 33May 13, 2023 5:14 PM

I agree that Nia looks good and John Corbett is bland.

I love Andrea Martin.

I just finished watching this on Peacock and I actually loved it. It’s very charming. Not as good as the first but much better than the second.
