Movie Story


From Nia Vardalos, writer and star of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," comes the uplifting comedy "My Life in Ruins." Georgia (Nia Vardalos) has lost her kefi (Greek for "mojo"). Discouraged by her lack of direction in life, she works as a travel guide, leading a rag-tag group of tourists as she tries to show them the beauty of her native Greece while waiting to land her dream job. Opening their eyes to an exotic foreign land, she too begins to see things in new ways-finding her kefi and possibly love in the process.

If it's sweet you complain. If it's too realistic you complain. All people do is complain. This movie is feel good, touching, and funny!

If a movie is too sweet, you complain. If it's too "real," you complain. All anyone does is complain. Everyone needs a touch of what Georgia found in this movie! Touching, funny, and very enjoyable!
