A Big Fat Deal for "My Life in Ruins"
September 19, 2006 12:09:16An amazing breakthrough has truly been made concerning the making of Tom Hanks-produced "My Life in Ruins."

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!
