Greece - Music For A Greek Wedding - Various Artists

Advantages: funny, good
Disadvantages: no

...As you may have guessed this film is mainly about Greece and it's culture but it isn't done in the way of a documentary but a comedy. Toula Portokolas is a 30 year old woman that works in her family restaurant Dancing Zorba's.
