Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film. And it did open my eyes to a new culture (the Greeks) and there own eccentries. It was well-done and the leads were lively. But the film is no "Billy Elliott" or "Muriel's Wedding" or similiar take-me-to-a-new-place-in-a-fresh-way kind of film. It was good but if it starts getting "Amelia"-esque buzz come award time I'd be surprised. "Dance with Me" or "Ballroom Dancing" had more umph and had more "something special" about them.
