In 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.This was actually a pretty cute movie. It was also pretty much just a variation on My Big Fat Greek Wedding with much less laughs. It was enjoyable but was mostly just kind of there. Its one of those movies that there really is no reason to get out there and see it, but down the road if you catch it in passing isn't a total waste of your time. You pretty much know the whole movie before it even starts, but doesn't make you start listing other things that you could be doing.
I'd recommend people check this one out on rental or definitely on cable. Its a decent watch but there is no urgency towards seeing it necessary whatsoever.
