Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this! Never saw the first one and didn't know what it is about, but I thought it was hilarious, heartfelt and touching. Even had tears in my eyes and laughed out loud a lot! Granted a lot of caricatures of Greek families, OTT behaviour etc. 8/10

Also, it is really nice to be invited directly by SFF to their previews, as they often have drinks (wine, beers and soft drinks) and hot food and today was no exception, and always plentiful too. Lovely kebabs in a bun and a cone of halloumi and salad. Very nice, indeed. Then there was a big photo booth, not a green screen in sight, which produced an animated gif as well as a photo print out. Good fun, a very enjoyable evening!

I also watched this yesterday in Leicester Square and enjoyed it, appreciated the complimentary drinks and food.

I think I saw the first film but don't remember it. Luckily I was invited to a Gala screening because I wouldn't have liked to p*y for this film. I was quite bored with the whole film. I didn't get most of the Greekism's and the continuous repetition throughout the film just made me zone out. Sadly I didn't enjoy it and didn't find the storyline endearing or funny.

2/10
