Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

"From the team that brought you 'My big fat Greek wedding' and starring many of the people who brought you 'My big fat Greek wedding' this is a film that's trying to be the next 'My big fat Greek wedding'".And it fails miserably in doing so, mainly in part because it's not half as funny, clever or enjoyable as it thinks it is.The cast work hard, and it's always lovely to see Zoe Kazan, even in a small role, but they can't hide the fact that this film isn't that great at all.It's quite simply an attempt to cash in on what worked before, to try to make lightning strike twice, and it doesn't.

I voted this movie a 5 only because I generally like John Corbett, but I wouldn't recommend it even for a "bad movies" night. It is disgustingly sweet (and I'm a romantic), full of clichés and stereotypes and so predictable that they should've put a spoiler alert before the first scenes. From the other flicks I've seen with her, it was obvious Nia Vardalos is a BAD actress (and apparently a bad director as well) and she definitely topped the cake with this one. She lacks any kind of expression, except the fake, creepy smile that comes with every line she delivers and the acting in general in way overdone. One of the very few funny moments was the name of Greg's bar, but she didn't take advantage of that either. The only good things in this movie are the pretty flowers and the nice ending song. Make yourself a favor and watch RoboCop instead.

Seriously. I think directors work with so many altered stars nowadays they take immobile foreheads for granted. It's why the movie feels so fake; that, and a serious lack of acting skills. Nia's immobile forehead and huge eyes and Stepfordesque, unending warm smile made her look like she was on Xanax. John Corbett's forehead was almost as flat. Creepy. And yet the director was intently focusing on their faces for a large percentage of this film. The writing actually was standard rom-com fare; tolerable, but only Jay O. Sanders as the floral delivery man showed his acting chops and came off as a real person. Yet even he was forced to participate in an eye-roll inducing, 'goofy' 'romantic' ending that you would expect from this script. Every single other performance was wooden. The major disappointment was that this film was chock full of actual funny comedians being used for straight roles. Did not work. I had to write this review because I just got HBO and I'm the type of person who will watch a bad movie all the way through. I think it might be a disorder of some type.Anyhoo, that movie was so bad and I was so angry with myself for watching all of it, that I wanted some payback in the form of a silly negative review. That and I want to spare others the pain and anger that I felt when the credits started rolling. Lastly, if you're going to write a clichéd story of a woman who hides her abandonment issues behind layers of quirky eccentricity, try to hire a really good writer who can convincingly work a cliché into a story so that it's not so bloody obvious.

The characters in this - lifetime-esque - romantic comedy are one huge cliché. The nosy gay guy bff's. The silly - slightly mental understudy who issues good advice. The almost 50 year old - 30 somethings. The angry but fun loving butcher, I mean the list goes on and on.The dialogue is setup for jokes that have been played so many times, it's just sickening. The lead - sex and the city guy - is one big pu*** The man deserves no play. Last time I checked, women don't like pushovers who get dumped.The florist job is ridiculous for someone who hates being in love. The lead is cute, but she takes way too much dress up to look good (did this movie budget thousands for her hair, makeup and wardrobe - Absolutely). She was a much better character when she was playing it real in her first movie, which much more believable and genuine.
