The writing was terrible - it felt more like a Rick Steve’s travel show than a movie with some kind of plot. The disjointed one-liners came off as meaningless. And unless you were Greek, the subtleties like villages showing up to celebrations or the importance of food in bringing a community together, you would have missed some points. All in all, it was a poorly written movie that would have put me to sleep I’d it weren’t for the sad moments of appreciating parents’ mortalities.

Terrible script, poor acting.
I loved the first one and the second one wasn’t bad, however number 3 didn’t work for us! We love all the characters from the first movie and the new faces were okay. Just kept waiting for it to get better but never happened! There were “cute” parts and sentimental parts but not laugh out loud humor or even a chuckle! Not interested in seeing it as a rerun either! Sorry! (We are 3 elderly women).
I have to see the others to catch up now!
Absolutely loved it.
Loved the family memories and adjusting when a matriarch dies and the family struggles to be a family when the mother of the family has Alzheimer's to add to the unfortunate events. Truly inspiring. Loved it and anyone that has had that happened to their own family can feel the hurt, anxiety and togetherness we all strive for in life. Until it happens to you, you won't understand apparently. We truly enjoyed the acting and realism. Thank you
I laughed and cried and left the theatre feeling happy. Like catching up with old friends.
We really enjoyed this movie. Funny. Lighthearted. Entertaining. Just a feel good movie.
Not funny or cute, acting sucks, keep your money and watch it in 3 months on Netflix
Funny light for all no violence about love and close family big family ties and you see plenty of Greece.
I loved the scenes in Greece.
THE ABSOLUTE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, THE ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS NO MATTER WHAT, THE FOOD, THE MUSIC, THE SCENERY, AGAIN....THE LOVE.....THESE GREEKS RESOLVE FAMILY ISSUES IN MINUTES THAT TAKE OTHER PEOPLE MONTHS, YEARS, OR NEVER TO RESOLVE ....WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THIS A MUST SEE IF YOU WANT YOUR LIFE FILLED WITH LOVE.
My husband and I loved this movie. There were no car chases, explosions, aliens, or murders, thank heavens!!! We were pleased to see Nia Vardolos' love interest, Poupi Kakas, from "My Life in Ruins" added to the cast. Lots of laughs, beautiful scenery, and another amazing wedding made this a totally entertaining movie. We're thinking of seeing it again.
What was supposed to be a comedy didn't hit the mark. Boring, badly written, no story, just a lot of scenes put together that did not flow. An absolute waste of time. I have to ask why do it?
I have spent many times in Greece and found it easy to relate to the nuisances of the film having both parents who migrated here from Greece. It brought back wonderful memories of vacations and work in different parts of the country some of which were recognizable in the film. There were times when I felt a sadness because of the memories. On the other hand, it was hard for me to restrain myself from dancing in the theater to the music and the wonderful, gifted musicians. I was deeply touched by the honoring of the memory of Michael Constantine whose presence was brought to life in the film. Yes, we are loud and disruptive but have compassion in our hearts. Nia Vardalos reaches into the humanity of us from all ethnicities and human diversity. Thank you, Nia.
This movie tried so hard to be funny but was just dumb! The script was lacking & there were parts in the movie that didn’t even make sense. It was lame too how they added a token trans person. The only plus - it was a clean movie, no obscenities or nudity…. At best, watch it later on Netflix, I wouldn’t waste the money in the theater.

Loved spending time again with this fun Greek-American family! The scenery in Greece was breathtaking!
this was a waste of time, not funny at all. was a bore.
I laughed, I cried, I loved every minute of this movie! I almost didn’t watch it, due to some bad reviews I read. I’m very glad I decided to judge for myself. I would go see it again. It’s hard to find enjoyable movies that don’t have violence, nudity, and bad language. I enjoyed this entire series.
I wanted and looked forward to seeing this movie= was not funny - was boring. Only the scenery earned the two stars I gave it.
1.5 hours of disjointed, pointless, humorless so-called entertainment. They took the popularity of the other movie, especially the original, and threw together a mess of a movie to sucker people into seeing this garbage. Characters just thrown together. NOT FUNNY!!! NOT ENTERTAINING!!!!
The wedding celebration was so poor.
Hope to see it again this week.
After reading so many bad reviews I went to see it with low expectations. But what an awesome surprise. Absolutely loved it!!!! Being a greek with elderly parents made me relate to it more. Hoping for a 4TH.
I liked the idea of going to Greece because the father wanted that but it just didn’t flow right and the third wedding which is this is what it supposed to be about, was minor and not about the major family characters which I would’ve wanted
This movie is so terrible. It jumps from little scenes that don't even help the storyline. The wedding is lame. Couldn't they have put more into this part of the movie since it is called Big Fat Greek Wedding Three. I love John Corbett, but he only has a very few lines that are not even needed in the movie. I can't believe he agreed to be in this atrocious sequel. The jokes fall flat. When there is a crisis, ie. daughter flunking out of school, they just smile and go on to the next scene. I did enjoy the scenery and Andrea Martin is the one bright spot. I guess it is true that very few sequels are good. This is truly the case with Big Fat Greek Wedding 3,
Terrific fun! I see no reason for them not to make another one.
A truly wonderful movie, the best of the three editions.
No serious plot twists, no blood, no cursing, Just Fun. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson brought a good product with this third iteration of a fun story. Unfortunately, no Windex. :)
Give it up.
Brings romance back to the movies! This is the picture we all need now.
Fun movie, great continuation of the first two movies.
boring
Why?
should have stopped after 1 jumped the shark
HEARTFELT AND HILARIOUS!
