MY LIFE IN RUINS

With Nia Vardalos, Richard Dreyfuss, Alexis Georgoulis, Harland Williams, Alistair McGowan, Rachel Dratch, Caroline Goodall, Ian Ogilvy

Written by Mike Reiss
Directed by Donald Petrie

Not straying from the successful roots of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Nia Vardalos hits Greece for real as a tour guide in love with the history and cultural romance of the place (naturally longing for the real thing as well). Her culture-laden tours bore most of the visitors, while her rival guide always scores higher points by pandering to the tourists and making it an artificially fun, wacky trip in stead of an enriching experience. She's close to giving up the ghost until her latest group arrives. They are a mixed batch of idiots and the wise. The hairy bus driver assigned to them seem like her polar opposite, but as these movies are designed, naturally an attraction develops.
This is overwhelmingly a chick-flick, and most men will sit through this one with difficulty.
