NEW YORK.  More than 20 years ago, Greek Canadian actress and author Nia Vardalos penned the script for a screen adaptation of a one-woman play she had written and performed exploring the mores and foibles of the immigrant community in which she had been raised.

Using technology not available in the waning days of the Cold War, Marshall and his team serve up a charming fresh take on the timeless story.
