HILARIOUS! I expected it to be a continuation of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I was completely wrong. It exceeded my expectations in every way. Very cleverly written and hilarious story line.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with this film. I really liked Nia Vardalos in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', but she gave a less than stellar performance in 'My Life in Ruins'. The story line was forced, Vardalos' acting was forced, as was the acting of most of the cast. The only truly endearing and funny character was the one played by Richard Dreyfuss. I have to say I laughed out loud at a few of his lines. If it weren't for Dreyfuss, the movie would have received a rating of no stars from me. I must say; though, that I did like Vardalos' hair and wardrobe alot. I thought she had never looked as good as she did in this film. Sorry to say, that is about as complimentary as I can get.

I would say a B movie but sweet - I would think most ladies would like it and appealing to families with girls over 16 and older parents - not an action flick but very laid back - if you want to take a visual tour of Greece on a bus with mismates - this has a nice story line. I would recommend it to see once at least but not as good as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"

I enjoyed Nias' previous movie Valentines Day while flying coast to coast. It was cute with a story and some great lines. I had highly anticipated this movie because I was a tour guide for years. Too bad it was a HUGE disappointment. I would not recommend it and wished I had spent my time watching the repeat of another movie. Sorry Nia. Richard Dreyfuss has stooped to an al-time low. Again too bad for a once previously superb actor.

This movie really stinks. Nia Vardalos isn’t the least bit convincing, and gives a very poor performance. Richard Dreyfuss is the only one who is decent in the cast. The writing is forced and not believable. It tries so hard to be cute, and it doesn't work. Dreadfully unfunny, the jokes are obvious.
