My Life in Ruins (2009)
How many ways can I say I love Nia Vardalos? Well, we’re about to find out! The woman is gorgeous in such a human way – not one of the alien, abnormal, freakishly disproportionate and depressingly perfect Hollywood stars we tend to see in these roles. I completely believe her in any role she plays. Funny lady and a talented actress. She brings so much to My Life in Ruins, and honestly, the movie was already pretty fabulous to begin with.
The premise of My Life in Ruins is timeless and classic, but it doesn’t feel stale or old. It’s laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to end and the scenery is breathtaking. By the end of the movie, you’re in love with the characters you’ve just spent an hour and a half getting to know… and you probably want to book the next flight to Greece!
My Life in Ruins is a great feel good movie with lovable characters and a wonderful, enjoyable and engrossing story. Definitely worth watching – twice.
