Review of My Life in Ruins (2009) by Rachel C — 09 Jan 2010
Do I really need to go over the plot of this film? Do I? It's like every other film of its ilk that's shot out of Hollywood in the last thirty years. OK, let's do this review as a quiz and you can score yourself:
1) Georgia (Nia Vardolos) is a Greek history professor who can not find work or a man. In the course of this film she will...
A. Make Gyros B. Find a man and get a job offer, but turn the job offer down for her man. C. Introduce communism as a viable political philosophy for the Greeks.
2) Richard Dreyfuss plays a man who is a smart ass, talks about going on trips with his wife, but his wife isn't there. Where is she? A. In a better movie. B. She left him for Val Kilmer. C. She's dead.
3) The hairy bus driver that never talks will be... A) Judge Lance Ito B) A bus driver. C) The "man".
Add in some stereotypical tourists and you're all set. You've got the movie. Enjoy. Thanks for playing.
