My Life In Ruins

My Big Fat Life Under The Grecian Sun


Georgia (Nia Vardalos) has lost her kefi; Greek for "mojo". (Maybe she should ask Stella about her "groove") 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.




Too much in one trailer.

Like Server getting a spoonful from each dish at a buffet and cramming into your mouth at once. Like this? How bout this? Or these? Oh I bet you’ll love this!

Painful.



THOUGHTS:


Sexy shirtless man.

A male makeover.

Funny.

Love Nia Vardalos.


Aww, she looks lovely.


QUESTION:


Why do all movie foreign men urge the unattached Western woman to, basically, stop working, go with the flow and how's about a grope?


Are they being taught this at school?


Single Western Career Woman: "Work fulfils me / I'm so stressed!"



Sexy Foreign Man: "Chillax baby"

Single Western Career Woman: "Ok!" *Giggles*



WILL IT WORK?


I thought Nia Vardalos had written the screenplay, and was ready to type YES!

Thank god, finally a GOOD rom-com!

After months in the action/tween movie wilderness...


But alas, the writer is Mike Reiss instead, no romantic comedy features under his belt previously. Though that could mean a fresh voice.

Written for The Simpsons, something called Queer Duck:The Movie.


Hopes, waning...


Sure, we know it will make money, a billion people saw:



WATCH IT?


Well, goreous locations, a likable heroine, comedy, romance and a hot foreign guy....



I can at least appreciate the parts, if not the sum.
