Fat, Greek

September 22 2002 | 1 min read

I'm finally starting to feel a little better. If this was a workday I would be up to going to work. My mother-in-law is in town this weekend, and yesterday we went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which I liked quite a bit. I especially like how it was atypically Hollywood, in that the transition from frumpy girl to pretty girl was not that dramatic and while pretty enough, the "after" transformation woman was not a stunner. I get very tired of Hollywood judgements of beauty, such as The Truth about Cats and Dogs, where Uma Thurman is the pretty girl and Janeane Garafalo is the ugly girl. In almost any other context in the world, JG would be considered attractive in her own right. I have like John Corbett for a long time, and thought he did a great job. I expected to enjoy the movie, but it was quite a bit better than I thought it would be.
