No chemistry, too fake

There seems to be no connection between the main characters. Her performance seems overdone, smiling all the time regardless of his reaction.. it just seems forced. Anyone else see this or am I alone?

They had chemistry in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I think the lack of flow between the characters in the movie had to do with the characters they were playing. Honestly, Greg didn't demonstrate any backbone or substance in the movie until he blew up on her in the restaurant. She was trying really hard to convey this easing going, love is great because of no commitment person.

I just liked he was a cute throughout the entire thing. I was disappointed in the chemistry as well. It could've been better I think, if her character wasn't too over top (and the scenes of just half smiles were odd too) and he had more to him.

Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

There was some. It seemed that maybe "Greek Wedding" part 2 was being done but this had it's own way a little.

"Peace and love"

I just watched opening scene of date 4, wow it couldn't get any worse, very ackward silence, they didn't even try to edit it out, as if they couldn't think of anything to say to each other.

This is a horrible film, nothing works, her smile is her acting, and her acting is horrendous. Not even Robert DeNiro could've saved this terrible flick.

Her smile reminds me more of the wicked witch of the west more than anything else, and rather than edit or change things they just let it go on, simply terrible, stomach turning terrible, crap on top of crap, garbage that smells really bad.

i agree, the chemistry between them was nil. it was stiff and lumbering and clunky. terrible
