"My Big Fat Greek Wedding". I haven't seen it, but I wonder if it will ever be No. 1 at the U.S. box office. It has been No. 2 for a few weeks now, after 5 months in release. I'm rooting for it.What a hoot watching this "little movie" win out over new releases like "Stealing Harvard". A real triumph for word-of-mouth, and a great argument that some movies should stay in theaters for more than two weeks.
I live forty miles from New York City, but I still have to wait for most decent little movies and foreign films to come out on video before I can see them. If they play anywhere near me at all, it's only for one week.
Long live "Greek Wedding"!
comparing to "Stealing Harvard" starring Tom Green isn't saying much. Green is a bad mutation in the great, diverse evolution of the American cinema. He shouldn't be on screen at all. No self-respecting director would make a movie having Tom Green in it.

My point was that Greek Wedding, in its 20+ weeks of release, has beaten out several widely advertised new releases with much larger budgets. It's gratifying to see the underdog winning. Let's hope it opens the door for some other "small films".
sounds like a good movie, i'll try catching it. thanks.

If not the story of the year as you stated, at least in the running IMHO.

I didn't mean that the movie plot is the story of the year. It's success has to be.
Although the way I worded the response to you, I can see how one would think I was speaking about the movie plot.There have been sleepers out there whereby the movie released was never expected to do that well. This one certainly was a big surprise I'm sure.
