About this movie

Immerse yourself in this sunny, uplifting romantic comedy starring Oscar® nominee Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Academy Award® winner Richard Dreyfuss. Vardalos delivers a charming performance as Georgia, a recently laid-off — though anything but laid-back — history professor-turned-travel guide to a motley crew of hilariously crass tourists. Georgia is fed up and ready to give up — until her new confidant Irv (Dreyfuss) opens her eyes and heart to a simple fact: There's no finer way for a woman to find her kefi (a.k.a. mojo) than to lose herself in the arms of the "Greek god" who's been hiding right under her nose!

Ratings and reviews

When you want something lighthearted and fun, this fits the bill. Beautiful scenery and a sweet story. Much better than the awful "Big Fat Greek Wedding" dreck.

Love My Big Fat Greek Wedding movies cuz they make me laugh so much😄 now this is a sweet one and love that I get to see Greece again. Best place to visit

This is a movie I always come back to and watched when I was younger. I love seeing little bits of my family's culture mixed with witty and cheesy writing to make a light movie that has something for everyone.
