My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

While a little better than the original, it is still trying to coast on the same unfunny concept of Greeks being loud and insufferable. Loud does not equal funny. The B-plot of Paris going to college seemed real and relatable because all parents want their kids to go to college close to home rather than out of state. The main plot of the grandparents remarrying because of a hiccup that made their original marriage incomplete is dumb. I’m pretty sure that legally they would still be considered married at some point after 50 years. Paris is the best character and I feel so bad for her having to not only suffer the normal teenager struggles with her parents but the rest of the family is just horrible and annoying. There is a semblance of a fun rom-com but I do not like the movie or the concept. Watch The Proposal instead. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are comedy gold.
