My Big Fat Greek Wedding 22016

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 remains almost entirely non-woke, focusing on family, culture, and tradition rather than ideological messaging. The jokes poke fun at everyone equally, with little hint of modern Hollywood’s typical woke checklist. A breath of fresh Mediterranean air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film puts family, relationships, and cultural quirks ahead of any social agenda. Diverse characters appear, but their traits serve the humor and heart of the story, not as forced identity messaging. There's little evidence of narrative integrity being sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie celebrates traditional family, marriage, and Greek Orthodox culture, even poking fun at old-fashioned attitudes with affection. It doesn’t attack religious or familial roots but lovingly highlights their quirks. Masculinity and femininity are played for laughs, but not in a subversive or hostile way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real ideological monoculture here. While the film is light and comedic, alternative viewpoints (old versus new, tradition versus modernity) are playfully debated within the family, avoiding caricatures. No serious villainization of dissenting voices occurs.
