FILM: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (dir: Kirk Jones, 2016)

"It's what we do."

This belated follow-up to the inexplicably successful 2002 original takes the next-generation step with Vanderlos's daughter now 17 and contemplating love, college and identity all in the shadow of her extended Greek family and heritage.  Age and experience makes this sequel a more languid and gentle affair, with the comedy played very broad and unthreatening.  Nevertheless, there is a pleasing amount of warmth, some well-played comedy and some touching moments, making this a pleasant if undemanding sequel.
