內容簡介 | Toula is 30. And unmarried. Which means as a nice Greek girl-she's a failure. All her cousins did the right thing-married Greek boys and made Greek babies. So everyone worries: what will become of Toula? Then one day she sees the ultimate unattainable guy and realizes the only way her life will get better is if she gets away from her big, fat Greek family. Toula escapes from the family restaurant. She exchanges her seating hostess jacket for a college diploman, convinces her aunt to give her a new job, and trades in her coke-bottle glasses for contact lenses, just in time for "him" to walk back into her life. Ian Miller is tall, handsome but definitely not Greek. Their courtship is an Olympian culture clash. Can Ian handle Toula, her parents, her aunts, uncles, cousins and several centuries of Greek heritage? Will Toula discover the love she's been missing right in the heart of her big, fat family? One thing is for sure, for better or worse, for richer or porer, with Ian's proposal Toula is headed for her big, fat Greek wedding.;本片可以說是美國2002年的票房大黑馬,從四月十六日起就在美國上映,連續上映超過半年,一直維持在排行榜四名之內,已經打破影史最賣座浪漫喜劇、票房最高獨立製片、以及史上獲利最高的影片等多項記錄。
