So every other negative comment made is how I feel. The biggest problems were it being joke driven instead of character driven, all the funniest parts in the movies are the parts that weren't trying to be funny. As for the comedy, the laugh tracks ruined it, and really this should have never been made as sitcom, it should of been made into hour long episodes filmed as a drama/comedy similar to the movie. For me the absolute worst part was the changing of the story and they should have not rushed into it and waited for John Corbett to become available, even if it took a couple years! This Thomas character was so rude and dismissive of her family and their culture, whereas Ian was so accepting and ENTHUSIASTIC about being apart of her family. Insulting and having contempt for your wife's culture and family is not comedy, he made it feel like he was the absolute wrong man to marry in the first place, there is nothing charming about him. As far as I'm concerned no John no My Big Fat Greek anything!
I was very glad that they decided to make 2 more sequels, I'll be honest and say that they were not as good as the first one, but I was still happy because I enjoyed following the progress of the family. My only complaint is that the 3rd movie picked up only a year after the 2nd and it made it a tad hard to believe that her mother developed that level of Alzheimer's in such a short amount of time.
