My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the 2002 hit comedy film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The movie is directed by Kirk Jones and features the original cast of the first film, including Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, and Michael Constantine. The story picks up 10 years after the original movie and centers around Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) and her family. Toula is now married to her high school sweetheart Ian Miller (John Corbett), and they have a teenage daughter, Paris (Elena Kampouris), who is trying to find her own identity while dealing with the pressures of her overbearing Greek family.

The movie explores the ups and downs of Toula and Ian's marriage and the challenges they face as they contemplate their future together. Meanwhile, Toula's parents, Gus (Michael Constantine) and Maria (Lainie Kazan), are still very much involved in their daughter's life and continue to meddle in every aspect of it. Gus, who is obsessed with proving that everything in the world comes from Greece, discovers that his marriage certificate is not valid in the United States, leading to a hilarious pursuit to renew their vows.

As the family prepares for the big wedding, they must also confront a major crisis that threatens to tear them apart. The revelation of a family secret causes tension and conflict among the Portokalos family and puts their sense of identity and tradition to the test. Will they be able to overcome their differences and stay together as a family?

Throughout the movie, we see the familiar comedic situations and eccentric characters that made the first film such a success. The Portokalos family is as lovable as ever, with their trademark lively personalities, over-the-top antics, and passionate devotion to their Greek heritage. The movie also features plenty of heartwarming moments - particularly between Toula and her father Gus - that will leave audiences feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

One of the movie's strengths is its portrayal of the cultural clashes that often arise in immigrant families. The film provides a humorous, yet insightful commentary on the tension between tradition and modernity, and the challenges of balancing multiple cultural identities. Toula's struggle to balance her Greek heritage with her desire for independence and autonomy is a relatable theme, especially for those who have had to navigate the often-complicated waters of multiculturalism.

Overall, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is a delightful sequel that will satisfy fans of the original film. It's a heartwarming, feel-good comedy that celebrates family, heritage, and the importance of staying true to oneself. Whether you're Greek or not, this movie will have you laughing, crying, and feeling grateful for the crazy, lovable people in your life.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is a 2016 romance movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 34 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.0 and a MetaScore of 37.
