Director: Donald Petrie
Stars: Nia Vardalos, Richard Dreyfuss, Rachel Dratch (Full Cast)
Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
The Plot: A travel guide (Vardalos) rediscovers her romantic side, with a very unlikely match, as she whisks a group of tourists around Greece.
THE BUZZ: Everybody needs love and affection, and the likeable, relatable Nia Vardalos also deserves a career reboot — it’s totally not her fault that a million copycats lusted after her My Big Fat Greek Wedding success, quickly squeezing the life (and viability) out of indie film. Also needing a certain amount of resuscitation is director Donald Petrie, who rode high earlier this decade but quickly retired to Blandsville. A note Fox Searchlight: Nice counterprogramming here.
