Nearly 25 years after its release in theaters, My Big Fat Greek Wedding has stood the test of time as a cultural touchstone of a rom-com celebrating Greek heritage and the many loving relationship dynamics within a family. Nia Vardalos wrote the film with heavy inspiration from her family life, giving each character and their little eccentricities a loose but very personal connection to reality that, in the eyes of critics and audiences, made them all the more human. The result was a relatable clash of cultures and search for identity as Toula Portokalos falls for a non-Greek man, played by John Corbett, and her loved ones continue to insert themselves into the wedding plans. Yet, one of the things best remembered about the feature, above its central romance, is its connection to Windex.
