5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Big, Fat, Greek Hit!, October 7, 2002

By

This review is from: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Audio CD)

This is a fun and flavorful soundtrack for our own lives. About half Greek music, half traditional (one could say, Xeno), this CD captures the interplay of the world of the Greek family, and one woman's adventures when she steps outside of it. It sates our taste for romance, and the urge to get up and dance (Ompa)!

Here's a breakdown of the songs included on the CD:
Track 1: The opening credits and the introduction to Toula's Greek World.
Track 2: Toula's transformation and the beginning of her adventure.
Track 3: The wedding song everyone dances to in the end.
Track 4: All about Greek families.
Track 5: Auditioning 'nice Greek boys.'
Track 6: Celebrating Easter with the family.
Track 7: The two families get to know each other better.
Track 8: Roasting lamb on a spit in the front yard.
Track 9: Toula and Ian spend time together.
Track 10: Grandma's theme.
Track 11: Three generations of Greek women.
Track 12: Flirting at the travel agency.
Track 13: You wanna go to Fiji? Let's go!
Track 14: the other wedding song (nod to That Thing You Do!)
Track 15: background music at the restaurant.

Buy it, it's fun, you'll like it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmony w/ Greek Tunes!!!!!, January 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Audio CD)

This review is from the perspective of a retired couple who travels around the world and enjoys having dinner parties. This CD is wonderful while cooking a Greek meal, dining with Greek food and yes, even while cleaning up the dishes from the Greek feast. The music has harmony and incorporates more instruments than you normally hear in Greece. Greek food and Greek music...not for everyone... BUT ... high probabilities you will enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immersed In the Atmosphere, August 12, 2002

By 

Mike Hunt (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Audio CD)

Usually I wouldn't take the time to write things in, but I bought this CD on a lark due to the links in here, and I like it more than the original CD which I came to buy. You totatlly feel like you are immersed in the Greek culture, but not in a cheesey way. Definitely a lot of fun to listen to. A great CD for listening to with guests to create a great atmostphere.
