Director: Émile Gaudreault

Writers: Steve Galluccio (play) Steve Galluccio (screenplay) Émile Gaudreault (screenplay)

Release Date: 15 May 2003 (Cannes Film Festival, France)
5 June 2003 (New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, USA)

Genre: Comedy, Drama

Tagline: Things change. Family doesn't.
It's not a democracy, it's a family
It's BIGGER... It's FATTER... It's not GREEK... and there'll only be a wedding over mama's dead body!

Plot: The son of Italian immigrants to Canada struggles to find the best way to reveal to his parents that he's gay.

In the comic flavor of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Maria and Gino's Italian world is shattered when their son decides to get a place of his own. They are relieved when Angelo's childhood buddy Nino decides to move in with their son. However, their relief is short-lived when they find out that Nino and Angelo are more than just roommates—they're lovers! And then the fun really begins! Stars Paul Sorvino (Bulworth), Luke Kirby (Halloween: The Resurrection).

My niece Giulia had her first birthday yesterday. When she was born, she was 2 months earlier and for a week we feared for her. Now she is wonderful and perfect. Click only if you want to see the cutest little girl ever (from a proud aunt that is happy to be able to take pictures!)
