Latest on My Life in Ruins

Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 10/6

by Peter Martin

Year One (Unrated) The marketing made it look like it was all about Jack Black and Michael Cera as primitive cavemen, when in reality it's very much a Biblical comedy. In either guise, it fails to fire on all cylinders, never igniting into a full-blown...

Confession Corner: Crying at the Movies

by Jenni Miller

The other day I watched My Life in Ruins out of curiosity and because I was bored. In the past, I've been quite cynical about the movie and Nia Vardalos's upcoming film I Hate Valentine's Day, but when all was said and done, I was a captive audience. And...

Box Office: Lost, Hungover and Ruined

by Matt Bradshaw

This past weekend marked Pixar and Disney's tenth consecutive number one opener as Up took the box office by storm. Sam Raimi's new scare-fest Drag Me To Hell did okay taking third, but was still nudged down by last week's leader Night at the Museum:...

Review: My Life in Ruins

by Jette Kernion

Throughout My Life in Ruins, a couple of characters are frequently reminded that they are not as funny as they think they are. Unfortunately, this also applies to the movie itself. It wants to be a bubbly and occasionally zany comedy with a touch of...

Weekend Box Office: 'The Hangover' and 'Up' Battle to a Draw

I just finished a delightful evening watching my life in ruins. a mind candy kind of movie, it was fun to see the evolution of the bored apathetic tour group turn into a more relaxed tongue ... in cheek kind of crowd. i didn't have to be embarrassed with nudity or foul language. It had a happy ending, more or less (I think Richard Dreyfuss dies), and the scenery whetted my own appetite to try the package tour trip. Thanks for a fun ride, I'll be back for more Full Review

I loved this movie! Even with the predictable cast of tour participants, I thought the dialogue was cleverly written, the scenery was really beautiful (I have been to all these p... laces and I they were portrayed just as they are), the chemistry between the lovers was believable, and it had a wonderful "feel good" ending. I have seen it more than once, and have enjoyed it every time! Anyone who doesn't like this movie must be hyper-critical, have no sense of humor, and has never been on a bus tour in Europe!

What a stupid boring movie. I'm glad I only had to pay $1.00 to get in. There was really no plot. Ladies don't take your man to this movie. He will hate you and never let you make a decision on w... hat to see. Full Review
