Movie # 59 "My Life in Ruins" not good. It's a good idea (though not original) to show beautiful scenery and have a female guide who is trying to impart some learning into the lives of her clients, but.............and that's a big but.........you have to have a strong female, and this one isn't. It's not that the actress Nia Vardalos isn't competent, because I think she is very natural, but she comes across as a bubblehead in this, and the clients............ohmygod. If they were at all likable or universal, this film might have taken off a bit when they finally arrived in the picture, but they aren't. They are goofy, oddball, stretched way beyond believability to ever be liked. I turned it off after the first 20 minutes, went to "Proposal" to re-watch that one, and then came back and hadn't missed a thing. She gets the busdriver. You could have guessed that in the first set of lines between the two. Good, now you don't have to watch this mess, or should I say "ruins"?

My Life in Ruins
(2009) PG-13
Love takes root amid the ruins of ancient Greece in this rom-com starring Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Richard Dreyfuss and Rachel Dratch. Greek-American travel guide Georgia (Vardalos) is so distracted by what's going wrong as she leads a motley crew of tourists through some of Greece's most historic sites that she almost misses out on a chance for romance with her hunky bus driver (Alexis Georgoulis).
