"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was a surprise runaway hit in its theatrical release. Nia Vardalos, the movie's leading lady, originally developed the story as a one-woman play based loosely on her own family background. Vardalos plays Toula Portokalos, an unmarried, thirtyish, rather plain-looking Chicago woman who is surrounded by her overpowering Greek family. She first works in the restaurant run by her parents (Michael Constantine and Lainie Kazan). Then she goes to work at a travel agency, and she also meets a man named Ian Miller (John Corbett), who is not Greek. Since her parents strongly disapprove, Toula and Ian start up their romantic relationship on the sly. But soon they're head over heels in love, and as they move towards marriage, Toula must reconcile her love for her family with her love for Ian.
