"Do we have time to stop there?"
"No."
The company and studio that brought us the Mamma Mia! films obviously aimed here for another slice of that success with this obvious threequel, aiming for the feel of those movies but without the ABBA songs (instead, soundtracked by Greek pop hits) and inevitably falling short, as the extended Portokalos family travels to Greece for a family reunion to take their late father's journals back to his Greek best friends. Marginally better than the awful first sequel, the formula is still a string of weak and forced jokes and awash with stereotypical characters, not a lot of consequence happens, a rather quick wedding takes place to justify the title and then it ends. The sunny scenery is lovely to look at and the multi-generational casting is to be applauded, but this film will have limited appeal beyond fans of the franchise and of its style of unsophisticated and very simple humour.
