Do people even remember the original?


I know it was a huge hit back in 2002 but no one really quotes it anymore and, if someone were to ask who was in the movie, I'm sure most people would be rushing to their phones to answer that question.

It just doesn't seem like it has any staying power, so what's really the point of making a sequel 14 years later?

You certainly don't have to go see it, sonny. Maybe there's a Robot Chicken marathon you can watch.

I like the ideaa of asequal but was hoping it was Bout the daughter marrying, not the mom marrying her husband again. I mightvsee it though. Itcwas funny.

that's what i thought. missed opportunity there i think

I remember it being a funny film. Even though last time I saw it probably over decade ago.

reply

not here. i don't now anyone who doesn't remember the first film and it's a constant favourite, it never fails to amuse

I can't even look at Windex without thinking of MBFGW. Same thing with lamb, or if I hear the name Nick (and Nick and Nick and Nick and Nick). I could go on and on. I definitely have invoked/quoted the film many times over the years. I don't have high hopes for the sequel because sequels often fail. But it's great the original cast was reunited and I'm sure there will be some laughs. With all these replies, OP, do you begin to realize that you shouldn't make these sort of judgments based on you and your circle?

reply

I can't wait to see this movie! The first one reminds me of my Greek family... restaurant and all! I love that they have made a sequel. I only wish it was made 10 years ago! Lol

reply

They have been playing it a lot on the cable stations recently; which was a good Marketing move.
