And greeks and italians are very much alike in their quest to keep their families together. Mambo Italiano is a good movie to watch that does the same thing Greek Wedding does in cracking open the door to a society that is often expolited and misrepresented in movies

I just believe she did it in an affectionate, rather than mean-spirited, manner. Of course Vardalos exploited the stereotype.

I'm Greek so I admit I was watching closely. I laughed at the right times but in the end I was left feeling a little ripped off. My Italian (by marriage) relatives, on the other hand, loved it. They saw themselves in this over-the-top ethnically mediterranean romp.
