My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of my favorite rom coms because the family portrayed reminds me so much of my own family. How many members of the Portokalos family were heavily inspired by members of your own family?

Thanks for the response! I am actually a budding intellectual property attorney, so I can try and give you the short (highly generalized) answer: Depending on the state, you can technically get sued for depicting someone too closely in a fictional work if the person is easily recognizable and you there is false and/or disparaging stuff written about the person. That said, the chances of any such plaintiffs suing you and actually winning are pretty slim.

It would be my pleasure. : )
