... .” Despite being written by the very talented comedy writer, Mike Reiss, this film keeps alive director Donald Petrie’s career long record of never making a single well reviewed featured, receiving a truly dismal 7% at RT. I wouldn’t expect another sleeper from this one. Bullz-Eye’s Dave Medsker gave it 2.5 stars, definitely more in sorrow than in anger. ...

... Nia Vardalos, writer and star of "My Big Fat Greek," seems to have had her "comeback" cut short by critics. Her "My Life in Ruins" film is being called a "charmless romantic comedy" and has a piss-poor 11% RT rating. There's plenty of reviews too and it's not just a limited release smattering of critics. It goes wide today. It's probably going to be Fox Searchlight's first "bomb" of the year, but then again, they've already released "Miss March," which audiences already ignored wholesale (yes, they're a great ...

... Nia Vardalos’ follow-up to My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the only film getting worse reviews than LOL. Hey, have I mentioned Nia Vardalos is Greek? Because she is! I think that’s why she’s so zany! Hey, Nia, ethnicities are like assholes. That’s probably why ethnic types are smelly. ...

... . Her earlier 2009 comeback film, "My Life in Ruins," could have been the title for her reviews. The film was also brutalized by critics and received an incredibly low 12% rating on RT. 2009 is not a happy "Big Fat Greek Wedding" for her and the box-office seems to be dead for her too. ...

... about the marginalization of women in cinema, and her efforts to help purge the world of this injustice. She did this by encouraging that everybody check out her latest film, My Life in Ruins, which I can only assume is an intelligent, thought-provoking drama with themes of female empowerment and not a generic, unfunny piece of shit rom-com that holds an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. If I’m mistaken though, Nia Vardalos should probably consider shutting the hell up. ...

While watching the film isn’t exactly painful, it’s hardly the light romp I’m sure writer Mark Reiss had in mind. What’s so sad is the bar for this genre has been set so low this film is actually slightly better than I was expecting.

Scene-Stealers
Aside from the beautiful scenery, and a few nice moments from Richard Drefus (who’s really slumming it here), there’s very little to separate My Life in Ruins from any number of braindead romatic comedies. Here’s one of those films where a character notices the love of her ...

Kefi, a main theme in the film, is the Greek word for mojo. Unfortunately for My Life In Ruins , that’s one of the many things it lacks. The story centers on Georgia (Nia Vardalos) who lost her ‘kefi’ and is in a miserable job as a Greek tour guide as she tries to find the ...
