As seen by the trailer here.
Seriously, are studios that short of new ideas already?
I* really enjoyed the original; the trailer looks terrible; with some really bad premises.
(I do remember that my grandparent all loved it, as did their friends. All are dead now.:()
Highlander
That should end this thread.
I could see “My Big Fat Greek Family” or some sort of sequel based years after the wedding. Kind of like how they did “Father of the Bride” 1 and 2.
Sequels to film adaptations of books wherein the protagonist died in the book (and is either reprieved or resurrected by the filmmakers) are just the pits: the Rambo series of films and Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame films immediately come to mind.
Jurassic Park, too.
Was there a big fat Greek divorce in there somewhere that we missed?
The sorta-but-not-exactly sequel sitcom My Big Fat Greek Life ran for a total of seven episodes. That’s not even one per muse.
Robot Arm, watch the trailer. Their daughter is now old enough to be applying to colleges. The wedding is for one of the woman’s relatives. It’s not clear to me who the wedding is for. If I interpret the trailer correctly, the wedding is because the woman’s parents have discovered that their marriage, umpty-ump years ago, is invalid because there was a mistake on their marriage certificate, so there are having another wedding ceremony.
I think you misspelled “Grssk”. At least, that’s what all the movie posters said.
I think Roger Ebert pointed out the weirdness of there being a sequel to the children’s fantasy film The NeverEnding Story, called The NeverEnding Story II.
“Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” certainly didn’t need a sequel, let alone two. Nor a prequel.
I seem to remember Lionel Hutz suing the producers for false advertising.
The first movie was based loosely on Nia Vardalos’ life and she is still married to the man who the husband is based on. I think she traded up to John Corbett from Ian Gomez who she is really married to.
Is it me or does Lainie Kazan look scary? It seems like she is playing the same age as she did in My Favorite Year in 1982.
Point Break. Come on, you can’t improve on perfection.
(I actually really liked the first one)
I have no interest in seeing the sequel, but I’m wondering why it didn’t happen sooner, since the first movie was one of the most profitable films of all time. This site lists it as the most profitable movie of all time. Seems like a sequel should have happened a lot sooner based on Hollywood works, but maybe the failure of the TV show messed it up.

Superman ended his first movie by realizing he’d arrived too late – the nuke went off, Lois Lane died, you name it – and so he flew back in time to retroactively save the day; since they couldn’t follow that with sequel after sequel after sequel where our hero can play that ace at need, they kinda just said Let Us Never Speak Of It Again.
Nah, he was suing The Frying Dutchman for denying Homer “All you can eat” which was the most flagrant example of false advertising since The Never Ending Story.
That is certainly what I came to say.
The Whole 9 Yards got a sequel no one asked for or went to see. It was weird.
