My Life in Ruins
Movie Information
In Brief: After Connie and Carla (2004) failed to duplicate the freakish $244 million success of My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) — by about $236 million — Nia Vardolos more or less withdrew from the scene, only to return with My Life in Ruins (2009). Apparently, she thought it was closer in tone to Greek Wedding, but it also failed to duplicate that earlier success — once again by about $236 million. So why is it being brought back? I have no idea, but then I had no idea why people were so keen on My Big Fat Greek Wedding either. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on Feb. 4, 2014.
