My Life in Ruins


The title is a cute play on words. Though Vardalos didn't write it, it has the same type of narrative and character as My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Some jokes were dripping of cheese, but it worked in the movie ie. Poupi Cacas. Thinking of it now "you mean moose caca" comes to mind. I like Richard Dreyfus in this, playing the jokester who is lonely who plays both moderator and giving advice. Vardalos' character struggles with the tourists who have no interest in the history behind the ruins, but shopping, beaches and having fun, but then realizes what its all about. I personally love IHOP and I enjoyed all the pancake references. Its a feel good movie with lots of laughs.
