The Age of Commercialism

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Nice to share with family. Not embarased to see with family.

With an extraordinary plot, tons of references. It's a good sequel for an excelent movie, in a world where sequels of comedies are the worst possible.

This was a sad movie to watch because it had all the elements of the first movie -- a great cast and incessant mockery of all the values and traditions of the Greek community -- without the tastefulness. Know where to draw the line.The introduction of the next generation was sweet and well done, but Tula's regression into nerdy cluelessness was too much. All the outrageous choices Maria made in preparation for the major event in the movie (no spoilers) was too much. And please don't get me started on Thia Voula -- who I REALLY LOVED in the first movie! Way to destroy your best characters, Nia!If you're going to put Stamos and Wilson into a movie, give them better lines....Corbett is more the "suburban hero" this time around, which I would have also held out for in his place, because who wants to be linked to the sad sad Toula in the sequel after being one of the hotties in Sex in the City?Basically, I loved the first movie and will spend the same number of years between the first and second movies trying to forget that the sequel ever existed.If you haven't seen Nia's other movies -- which are awesome and DON'T have sequels -- watch "I Hate Valentine's Day" (also with Corbett) and "My Life In Ruins" (Also with Wilson). Nia... I love you and think you're very funny and talented. Don't make sequels.

Probably Michael Constantine's last film, as he is 88 and looks it. Most of the other cast (Including Lannie Kazan) look pretty good after 14 years, considering. "Ya-Ya" (the old Greek Mama) would be 100 by now, if the timeline was accurate. Most of the original cast has returned. Almost as much fun as the first one. It's ironic that "Tula" is back, working at the family's "Dancing Zorba" Restaurant again. A very old comedic theme that has been used in so many old sit-coms and old "B" movies: Mom and Dad (in this case) have to get their marriage "renewed" because the original certificate wasn't signed by the minister or the Justice of the Peace. I first thought this was going to be about daughter "Paris" getting married, but she is still a graduating senior in high school. Like revisiting old friends, very comforting but unless you saw the first one, you won't have a clue about what's going on, and probably won't enjoy it. The new "Bundt" cake scene is hilarious as the pan(s) are turned into large wedding decorations with flowers. Yes, those are all Nia's relatives as extras. The same "storefront set" is used again, which may (or may not) now be an actual Greek restaurant? Also it's the same church? Fans of the 2002 movie will love it.
