Plot
Georgia (Nia Vardalos) is a Greek American tour guide, who leads an assorted group of misfit tourists around Greece. Tourists who would rather buy a T-Shirt than learn about history. In an hysterical clash of personalities and cultures, everything seems to go wrong. Until one day when a very special tourist, Irv Gordon (Richard Dreyfuss), shows her how to have fun and take a good look at the last person she'd ever expect to find love with... her quiet and sexy Greek bus driver. (Alexis Georgoulis).
Development
The script is originally by Mike Reiss (The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie), based on his travel experiences, but was later re-written by Vardalos after she became involved. It is being produced by Gary Goetzman and Tom Hanks for Hanks' Playtone Productions and directed by Donald Petrie. Vardalos has stated that the film was a lifelong dream of hers for she had always wanted to do a film in her family's ancestral homeland.
Filming
The film is set on location in Greece and Alicante, in Spain including Guadalest and Javea. This will mark the first time that an American film studio will be allowed to film on location at the Acropolis. The Greek government gave the studio its approval after Vardalos sought permission to do several scenes there.
