With all three being together, I thought this would be a better track. It’s actually fairly dry. There are a lot of times that I would have liked to know little details, like, for example, how Ian really proposed to her. The movie’s personal enough, I don’t think that detail would’ve pryed too much. There are some funny moments, though, and a lot of what Mrs. Vardalos says is quite interesting. There are a lot of details about her family and how some of the gags were inspired. She also talks gives out some stories from the set sometimes. Mr. Corbett and Mr. Zwick don’t talk much and when they do it’s passable. The entire track is basically them watching the movie with the occasional comment. There are a lot of silent spots. It’s not a boring track, it was just not as good as it could have been.

The above review is right on the money as Corbett and Zwick chime in on the odd occasion but clearly this is Vardalos’ show. She dominates the commentary track as she talks about how much the characters and situations in the movie are based on her own family. She also provides amusing anecdotes about making the movie, including Andrea Martin’s uncanny knack for improvisation and her make out scenes with Corbett.
