If you thought _you_ were pumped about[ the news t](http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/back-to-altar-with-my-big-fat-greek-wedding-2/)hat _My Big Fat Greek Wedding_ is getting a sequel, well, there’s simply no way you’re even _half_ as thrilled as this Greek woman.

“My God, this is the best news I ever heard in, what, the last 10 years,” the woman says. Her son Angelo knew that she’d be overjoyed, so he decided to record her reaction to the news and [post it on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwBlNTKrnYI). That reaction, it turns out, lasted for six minutes.

“All the other movies can go to hell,” she says. “This is it.”
