Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour.
Leave your thoughts about My Life in Ruins.
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonVardalos huffs that the culture that made her a millionaire is made of slackers, molesters and thieves. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsMy Life in Ruins comes close to being a Greek tragedy, but the actors never let the film die. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanDavid KaplanCould lightning strike (Vardalos) twice?? Afraid not. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekLovely scenery...stuck in a sub-sitcom script. Some of these group tours are really the pits. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonThe title pun -- Vardalos plays Georgia, a tour guide who shows people ancient Greek ruins -- is as clever as it gets |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonAn aggressively awful opening 20 minutes gives way to over-the-top characterizations and an increasingly wan series of bits aping film moments we've all seen before, executed with more grace and charm. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallWith its portrait of cranky, uninterested tourists, rowdy Aussies, fat Yanks, dingy hotels, shady merchants and busted buses, Ruins feels like somebody's personal vendetta against the travel industry. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanNot a big departure from what Vardalos has done in the past, but there is less cloying artifice this time around, in a romantic comedy where the love story takes a backseat to the more meaningful tale of a lost woman coming into her own as a person. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowYou think the tour bus driver will turn out to be handsome so that Georgia can recover her mojo? Right! You think it will make the movie entertaining? Wrong! |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekActress Nia Vardalos traipses through the same ethnic minefield that she did in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with less explosive results. |
