Most of us loved the belly laughs from 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', and are hoping they will follow up in 'My Life In Ruins'. Well, there are definitely some good laughs. Maybe not as many as before, but some good laughs nonetheless.
'My Life In Ruins' again stars Nia Vardalos as our favorite Greek-American. She plays an out of work professor who is giving very educated tours to unappreciative tourists in Greece. (Where is she when I'm on a tour? I can't get any facts!) She loves ancient Greece, but is disparaged by modern Greece, and her life. Of course, like Stella, she gets her groove back with the help of a really hot guy (played by Alexis Georgoulis).
Richard Dreyfuss (and several other familiars) play her round of obnoxious tourists for the week. This is where the comedy ensues. She gets the throw-back everything from the tourists to the bus, to the hotel. But, in the end, she learns to be a better tour guide and a more relaxed Grecian!
As for the kids, it's PG13. There are some inferences to sex and a few adult situations, but it would probably be ok for most kids.
I was a little disappointed that 'My Life In Ruins' wasn't quite the laugh fest of the first installment of Vardalos', but it was still definitely worth the watch.
A very good laugh!!!
