My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 Review: A Heartwarming Reunion With Too Many Subplots

The Portokalos family is back in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, and they’re still as chaotic and fun-loving as ever. When it comes to comedy sequels, it’s hard to recreate the magic of the original. Nia Vardalos, who wrote My Big Fat Greek Wedding and wrote/directed its third installment, has always tried her best to do so with the material, but it never landed in quite the same way. I saw my own family in the Portokalos clan and seeing them once again in this sequel sparks joy — it’s like reuniting with family after years of distance. But while the sentiment behind the third film is genuine, and the story is filled with a few fun, sweet, and heartfelt moments, there are too many subplots that don’t converge cohesively by the end.
