Las películas de bodas es ya un género específico en sí, normalmente asociado a las comedias y el romance(obvio). En su mayoría siguen una línea ya conocida. En este caso me encontré este título en Netflix, y recuerdo que en su momento tuvo popularidad, pero no llegué a ver. Estrenó en el 2002, siendo su director Joel Zwick.

Wedding movies is already a specific genre in itself, usually associated with comedies and romance(obvious). Most of them follow a well known line. In this case I found this title on Netflix, and I remember that at the time it was popular, but I didn't get to see it. It premiered in 2002, being its director Joel Zwick.

Sinopsis: Toula Portokalos es una chica de 30 años, vive con su familia griega en USA. Ella al ver que su vida sigue un camino trazado por su familia, decide rebelarse del mismo, buscando una vida laboral y una vida amorosa que le genera recelos en sus padres y familia. Todo dirigiéndose a tener su propia gran boda griega.

Si bien tiene un inicio interesante, y un contexto atractivo, ya que muestra temas culturales, como los obstáculos por los que pasará Toula. La película llega a un momento de la misma que toda tensión o problema se disipa, volviendo más una excusa para mostrar cómo es la boda de la protagonista.

While it has an interesting beginning, and an engaging context, as it shows cultural issues, such as the obstacles Toula will go through. The film reaches a point in the film where any tension or problems dissipate, becoming more of an excuse to show what the protagonist's wedding is like.

Lo mejor a mi parecer son las escenas de comedia que en ciertas dosis se van dando, especialmente con los padres de Toula. En la actuación, resaltan los padres de Toula, Maria y Gus, interpretados por Michael Costantine y Lainie Kazan, se sienten bastante reales.

In my opinion, the best part of the film are the comedy scenes, especially with Toula's parents. In the acting, Toula's parents, Maria and Gus, played by Michael Costantine and Lainie Kazan, feel quite real.

Si bien la producción es buena, especialmente para la boda, siento que palidece para proyectos actuales con la misma temática. La música griega acompaña diversas escenas y las hace más entretenidas.

While the production is good, especially for the wedding, I feel it pales for current projects with the same theme. The Greek music accompanies various scenes and makes them more entertaining.

En conclusión, no es una película mala, pero siento que corta demasiado rápido la tensión y resolución de problemas; eso sí, es fácil de ver y si te llama la premisa, puedes probar mirarla.

In conclusion, it's not a bad movie, but I feel it cuts too quickly to tension and problem solving; that said, it's easy to watch and if the premise appeals to you, you can try watching it.

Acabo de enterarme que en 2016 se estrenó una 2da parte, viendo el trailer, si se da la oportunidad podría verla.

I just found out that in 2016 a 2nd part was released, watching the trailer, if given the chance I might watch it.

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.
