A sweet bit of fluff!

This is a perfect movie to watch when you are feeling depressed and stuck home alone..... such was the case with me this weekend.

After reading all the comments on this board, I debated spending the $$$ to get this movie on demand - glad I did!

So it's not the funniest, certainly not profound, has few references to bodily functions and little to no profanity - no violence, and just a few instances of warm-hearted sex. And yes, there are your stereotypical tourists, as the Nia Vardolos character points out at the very beginning of the movie.

This was just plain FUN... I liked it so much I watched it TWICE.

Call me crazy, call me stupid - I may not know much about art but I know what I like.

So there.

"Hi! Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?"
"Are they made from real Girl Scouts?"

Joasiafly - I adored this film and watched it twice myself !

First of all, Poupi is great eye candy. More importantly, you really end up feeling part of this tour group and liking all the characters. It's great. Richard Dreyfuss does a phenomenal job with his character, tour.

It's not some Oscar contender, nor is it suppose to be. It's just a great, lite, enjoy life kind of film. I enjoyed it much more than I expected.

I enjoyed all the jokes about the nationalities - although some people have chosen to get all bent out of shape over it for no reason ... maybe it's just 'cause I'm Canadian, and everyone loves Canadians ;) I thought it was cute, too. Not amazing, but fun.

You give me joy that's unspeakable, Jesus I am so in love with You
