My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)
Really good for a sequel
I loved the first one, so I was excited to see the second. I am not a movie goer these days. I am an online/ streaming app movie person, because hey it is extremely cheaper and everyone has a big screen TV these days, ya. Yet my friends and I were wanting to do something different on a Monday evening. I was glad I spent the money to go and see this movie. Since I didn't watch the movie trailers I was utterly surprised about the wedding. I loved that they kept the value of family and the draw for younger generations to escape some of the chaos type theme as they had in the previous movie. The movie was well written probably a little more reserved than critics like but definitely entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I recommend it to the sentimental, nostalgic, family oriented individuals like me.
Mi casa, su casa (2003)
It was predictable and fake
This movie seemed like my friends from up the street filmed it. (That is not a complimentary comment ) If the director would have given the opportunity for the audience to adjust then maybe it would have made more sense. There seemed to be a lot of jumping around in the script. Plus the way things end up with them was like blah blah blah blah. I was so disappointed with the movie. The actors didn't even seem thrilled with their lines. Oh and the fake mustache was ridiculous. How this movie made the amount of stars I gave it is just because I don't make movies and I'd hate to judge too hard. The movie did have a very clean content which was a breath of fresh air. I just wish that movies like this would couple morality with an actual interesting dialog. At times the movie dialog was so weak that you kept hoping for another line but it would just be something ridiculous sounding . I hope that this helps. If you have Netflix like I do and just watch things with your family and friends in the evening and don't really care if it is an amazing movie and want a clean movie, then watch this one. Just don't expect it to be tremendously entertaining.
