One common theme permeates these nostalgic sequels to reverent reboots: They only offer mere morsels of what made the originals so worthwhile.
If you don’t recall the events of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 — or, as many may say, simply never saw it — you have nothing to feel bad about. I just caught up with the sequel earlier this year, and already I’ve forgotten most of what happened. The latest entry makes no effort to catch you up, save for an opening montage of stills from the previous two films seen hanging on the wall.
Upon arrival, they meet Victory : the so-called mayor of Gus’ hometown who turns out to be one of just six residents left after the area’s water supply dried up. What follows is not unlike the later acts of the prior films: alternating hangout scenes and bits galore.
Rampant callbacks and mildly pleasant vacation vibes aside, there’s a mess going on with the technical components here. Editing is both choppy and hurried, leaving little room for any emotional beats to resonate with the audience before the film quickly heads to the next scene. Camera coverage is just as incoherent at times, with certain shots appearing so out of place that they look like shrapnel from hastily deleted scenes.
