The first Big Fat Greek Wedding was a charming film and a surprising hit. It made a ton of money, so a sequel was made 14 years later. However, My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a film that didn't need a sequel and it showed with the forced story about Toula's parents finding out they were never really married so had to have a second wedding. There was a repeat of jokes and plot points from the first film like Gus using Windex to fix anything, the family being willing to threaten outsiders, and Toula having a makeover to regain her confidence. The newest feature was the plot about Toula's relationship with her daughter and trying to bond with the moody teen.
The plot was thinner and the jokes were a lot broader than in the first. There were some decent jokes, whilst others had a punchline that could be seen from miles away.
