I liked seeing Martina Sirtis again after a long time not paying attention (remember Star Trek Next Generation?). I am half Greek and have lived in Greece, though have never been to Santorini. The execution was well done, but not perfect. 2 examples: when members of the male lead's family are talking amongst themselves, the fact that they speak English is understandable because of the English-speaking target audience, but they say "grandma" when basically everyone (I think, by now), knows that "yiayia" is Greek for grandma. Second example: when the male lead's sister gets married to her Greek husband in the church, the priest says, at the end, "You may kiss the bride" in English. This, after all the authentic ceremonial lead-up to that moment. He should have stayed in Greek because they kissed right after.
Something else that really annoyed me was the last scene, where the 2 leads finally get married. There was no hint of religion--not even an officiant!--and in front of his "traditional" family, including "yiayia." I'm pretty traditional, so consider it an affront to Greek tradition to have such a liaison (couldn't really call it a wedding without someone officiating).
Well, the scenery was great, at least.
