Release Date: March 25, 2016

Written By: Nia Vardalos

Almost 20 years after we met Toula's family, we lwean they are as crazy, and as close as ever. On the verge of her only child, Paris, gong off to college, Toula's parents lean they are not legally married. Toula must lean to let go of her daughter while also lean to hold onto her parents (and help them to get legally married) at the same time.

This is a great family film. While it was not as good as the first (you know sequels rarely ever are), it was still very fun to watch. It shows Toula at a weird stage in life where she is not going to be the active parents to her child, but is now becoming the parent to her aging parents. She starts to feel old and that life slipped by her. That even though she found who she was in the first film, she lost herself again. That by being everywhere at once it's making it hard to rediscover who she is.
