Opa! Grab a bottle of Windex and get ready to break some plates, because guess who's back!

The trailer for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 was released on Wednesday, via NBC's Today show, and, as expected, the movie looks hilarious.

Nia Vardalos and John Corbett reprise their roles as Toula and Ian, who are now married with a teenage daughter...while her big fat Greek family is never too far away. Why is the movie called My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2? Well, it turns out Toula's parents were never legally married. You can guess what happens next.

The movie also teaches you how to get an instant face-lift—without going under the knife! Thanks, MBFGW2.

Vardalos penned the screenplays of both films, which are based on her real life experiences.

"The reason that the sequel took...so long to come out is because it's entirely my fault," the actress said on the Today show. "I just could not write something that I didn't know. I had written that Toula, my character, is a mom at the end of the first movie and I wasn't a mom and it's a sad story that turned out great, because once I became a mom, I understood all those feelings."

In 2008, Vardalos and husband Ian Gomez adopted a little girl they named Ilaria.

"And on my daughter's first day of kindergarten, somebody said something and that was it—I had the idea for what the sequel would be," she said. "I can't write unless it comes from my real life."

Vardalos has in recent months been posting photos of herself with her fellow cast members.
