The next movie in the June Swoon 3 is the third film in a sequel called My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3.

This really feels like a sitcom that has done that special episode that sends the family to a vacation spot and they go on location to film. You know, like the Brady Bunch in Hawaii or the Grand Canyon, Happy Days in Los Angeles with shark jumping, or Blossom in Paris.

The plot of the film centers around a family reunion in Greece after the death of Toula’s (Nia Vardalos) father. However, most of the film just has a bunch of individual moments among the run time for the different characters. These conflicts through the film appeared, were mostly solved easily and then the film moved on. Just like a sitcom.

There are a few giggles throughout, but most of the film’s humor is at that ‘bad-sitcom’ level. Most of them fall flat.

I do like Andrea Martin and Maria Vacratsis and their little old Greek women characters. They had the best one liners and, if something was funny, it usually came from them.

There was some beautiful exterior shots of Greece. It’s like a postcard for tourists.

There is not much here for a movie. It feels very disposable and fluffy. Nothing of substance here.
