My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is a 2016 American romantic comedy film directed by Kirk Jones and written by Nia Vardalos.

Paris, who is applying to college, feels smothered by her close-knit clan, who constantly interfere in her life.

Meanwhile, Gus has convinced himself that he is directly descended from Alexander the Great and wants to write to an online ancestry site for confirmation.

While sorting through his records, he discovers that his and Maria's marriage certificate was never signed by the priest, technically invalidating their union.

Meanwhile, when Toula and Ian are on a date night to rekindle their romance, their family catches them making out in their car outside their house.

The whole family, including Ian's parents, Rodney and Harriet, and Angelo's business partner, Patrick, pitch in to make the wedding happen.

En route to the church, Gus, Panos, and Taki arrive drunk after many shots of ouzo.

At the wedding reception, Gus reads a letter from the ancestry site verifying that he is a descendant of Alexander the Great.

In a 2009 interview for her film My Life in Ruins, asked about a possible sequel to the 2002 hit romantic comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Nia Vardalos stated that she had an idea for a sequel and had started writing it, hinting that, like Ruins, the film would be set in Greece.

But then when John (Corbett) and I recently sat down to do that interview (for the 10th anniversary edition), we laughed so hard through the whole thing.

[12] Universal Pictures acquired the US distribution rights to the film on November 11, 2014, and Kirk Jones was set to direct, based on the script by Vardalos, who also starred.

The site's critical consensus reads, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is as sweet and harmless as the original, but its collection of sitcom gags and stereotypes never coalesces into anything resembling a story with a purpose.

"[21] Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 37 out of 100, based on 32 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
