The TVI Take

Joel Zwick's 2002 Nia Vardalos film whose Greek-American family specificity (multi-generational household, food as love language, cultural-tradition collision with WASP partner family) is rendered with anthropological commitment most romcoms skip. The Toula-Ian relationship is the structural cover for the actual subject: how immigrant families process partner choice.
