Its that Bad!!!! Beware
3 February 2010 | by (Cyprus) – See all my reviews

Until now i kinda liked Nia Vardalos on her previous films "My Big fat Greek wedding" and "My life in Ruins".

This specific one though is one of the worst of 2009. The dialog is cheesy, acting hits bottom and the plot is ridiculous and predictable.

Nia has this silly smiling expression in each and every scene which is very annoying.I hope she sticks to acting that she knows best. Its a fact that not all actors can be directors. Many of them need coaching to achieve a decent performance and Vardalos is definitely one of them. Probably the worst film of the year ...
