Stories I'm reading:
Going Greek--As I've already mentioned, I'm not Greek but it was a bit disconcerting how certain aspects of the Portokalos family were frighteningly similiar to my own (sans the Windex). Although a bit formulaic and predictable, I laud the "risky" decision to keep writer Nia Vardalos as the lead and not to replace her with some big-name star who admittedly might have looked prettier on-screen but probably would not have brought the same kind of down-to-earth appeal Vardalos did. (And I'm ever so thankful that they cast Sex and the City cutie John Corbett.) Nevertheless, while I found My Big Fat Greek Wedding to be a delightful film, as far as mix-raced marriage movies go, I still prefer Fools Rush In starring Chandler... er... Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek. Salon
