Review of My Life in Ruins (2009) by Morwatz B — 31 Jan 2015
Over the winter holidays I watched this movie at a friend's house. While this movie will never win an academy award I am a bit surprised that the ratings are so low from the professionals.
To give this movie a fair shake, I think we should start with the positive aspects of this film. First of all, the entire film is shot in Greece. In every shot, there are either ancient ruins or beautiful ocean views. Second, look at the actors in this film! Great cast, and excellent acting for the material they had to work with.
On the negative side, this movie is campy and for the most part predictable. Some of the lines are downright terrible, but many of the lines are so bad they actually add to the humor of this film.
Overall this film doesn't take itself too seriously and you shouldn't either. This film is perfect for a lighthearted comedy that is perfect for when you have company over, won't offend people or gross them out.
