sweet little movie

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... athetic 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... s really beautiful (I have been to all these places 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... ill hate you and never let you make a decision on what to see. Full Review

The film is so brazen about its pandering, crumple-hearted silliness that it had me rooting for Vardalos to land her big fat Greek stud-muffin.Full Review

Doesn't skimp on the life lessons or instant transformations. But the movie primarily exists to give amiable Everywoman Vardalos the chance to regain her kefi.Full Review

The problem with the new movie is the same as with the previous one. Vardalos has this idea that she's a marm. And while it's true that she personifies her movies, I don't quite buy her librarian mode.Full Review

Not likely to spur much tourism to Greece. The sights, though impressive, are not photographed interestingly, and the citizens of the host country are less than welcoming.Full Review

Ruins is sometimes as sunny as its locations but as familiar and predictable as a Greek diner.Full Review
