Review: Toula Portakalos feels trapped in her large Greek family, where women are expected to do only three things: "marry Greek men, have Greek babies, and feed everyone until the day they die." Rebelling against this fate, Toula quits the family restaurant, goes to college, fixes her hair, and falls in love with Ian, a guy who is way-too-good-to-be-true, and not Greek. This horrifies Toula's Greek culture-crazed father and sets off a major culture clash between her loud, eccentric family (whose activities include roasting whole lambs on the front-yard barbecue spit) and Ian's subdued, overcivilized Anglo-Saxon parents. This movie is that rare romantic comedy that has the courage to trust its simple, human story and not resort to overwrought Hollywood sentimentality and phony glamour. It's also filled with big, fat, crowd-pleasing laughs, making it a wedding most worth attending.

Review: One magical night, Jonathan (Cusack) met Sara (Beckinsale). He was in love at first sight, but Sara believed in destiny.

Now after ten years, two fiancés, and 3,000 miles between them, Jonathan and Sara have one last chance to find out if what might have been, could still be. When love feels like magic, you call it destiny. When destiny has a sense of humor, you call it Serendipity.

A collision of lives that could only have happened on Titanic, the ship of dreams.
Review: This great romantic comedy opens with two strangers, new college graduates Crystal and Ryan, share a car trip from Chicago to New York. They share moments and parts of their lives, determining that women and men can not be 'just friends'. Once in NY, they go their seperate ways, but later meet again. The story spans many years and even evokes suspense by delaying what many viewers believe should be inevitable. Will they or won't they? 'When Harry Met Sally' is a hilarious look at love and friendship between a man and a woman.
