Nia Vardalos the star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding returns to the big screen in My Life in Ruins.
When Georgia becomes a tour guide in Greece she is determined to get her Kefi (aka mojo) back.
But after several months or so of being a tour guide of the famous Greek ruins, Georgia starts to get a little fed up with the fact that she is not appreciated in what she does and is always being given the TWWLTS tourists (those we would like to smack!)
When the movie begins Georgia has decided that she is going to be putting in her two weeks and will no longer be offering her tour expertise to those who don't appreciate it.
As the dreaded tour begins we meet all of the quote on quote Lovely people she will be the tour guide over for the next two weeks and like all tours their is always the rich snobs, interesting couples and the ever famous smart arce who can't keep his comments to himself.
At the beginning of the tour no one can stand each other which will make for a long tour of the ancient Greek sites but the one saving grace for Georgia it seems is her homeless looking bus driver Poupi (yes that's his real name and it is even pronounced as it sounds) who drives her crazy as well but seems to ad some comic relief to the stress in her life.
After a few days on the tour the group seems to somewhat warm up to each other and to Georgia as well, and through the whole experience the whole group becomes quite fond of one another and all the while they help give Georgia her Kefi Back.
Not the greatest acting I'll admit that but this makes for a fun light hearted comedy.
