My Life in Ruins is that cute little date movie. With a very simple plot and very basic characters, the movie moved quickly.
As you can tell from the trailer, an American, Georgia becomes a tour guide in Greece. She hates her job for understandable reasons. The bus’ air condition doesn’t work, the tourists are annoying, and the bus driver is the looks like a bear. Plus her rival tour guide gets the luxury bus and elegant hotels while her crew has to stay in dump hotels.
As the movie moves, you see how Georgia’s life falls apart and with a few acts of kind nice it is easily put back together. I can’t say that you fall in love with the characters but you do cheer for Georgia’s team. It doesn’t take long to figure out how it’s going to end. Some movies that becomes a problem, but in My Life In Ruins, it’s not a problem. You’re rather excited that it all comes together nicely. There is no real climax or big fight between the love interests which is kind of refreshing. If nothing else, this movie makes you want to go to Greece.
Grade: B
