Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen less believable acting that Ryan Scott's. Within 10 minutes I'm annoyed with every line he utters. It's wooden and stiff... It's just bad acting!Jeannette Sousa isn't all that bad, but also not really convincing.I bet the story line is somewhat fun, but I just can't stomach it. Do not recommend.

This was an enjoyable, cute and funny movie. Not the greatest, but fun enough. I'm sure that some will compare this to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and some comparisons are apt.Maria is beautiful, and charming and extremely quirky. And she snores. Jack is one of those earthy guys who doesn't let anything go by without making a joke. Maria's family is very traditional. Her father would be tough on any man.This movie is about the two falling in love, and about trying to make it work in a family where everything is stacked against Jack from the start. The two have so many differences that you would think they would be better off with someone else.There are funny moments, and sweet moments.

Growing up close to a lot of Portuguese families it felt so real, they are so funny and from the heart. Excellent must see movie. It was a really good movie, kept me laughing through the whole thing. Such good acting and humor very well done. Thank you for a great movie. When it was done I met the actress, and actor very nice people very well done. I would definitely go to another one of there movies.It was really nice to walk out of theater and see them there to talk us and see what we thought of the movie, great to have gotten a picture with them. It would be great to be able to keep track on how well they do in ratings. People really need to give it a chance you will not regret it. Super funny and very surreal.

My wife and I loved this movie! The Characters were very realistic and the family is very much like a Portuguese family that I know. The script was witty and the acting by Ryan Scott and Jeannette Sousa was excellent! The dog in the movie was very funny! Joaquim De Almeida was very believable as the father. I have seen him in many movies and this role was very different for him. We thought it was funnier than My Big Fat Greek Wedding! I have heard that this was a low budget film but I did not feel that it was low budget. The rain seen was very realistic and the break up seen was very sad. Vic Sahay was very funny as well! We found that we enjoyed it so much with all the characters that it would make a good sitcom.
