      Critics Consensus

      With stereotypical characters and a shopworn plot, My Life in Ruins is a charmless romantic comedy.

      steve d No comedy, definitely no romance and even less developed characters. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review lin k Ah we Americans never get tired of being perceived as obnoxious, uncultured idiots, only fueled by awkward, out of pocket sexual remarks and cheap thrills n trinkets alike. For the budget they had, and actually filming this in Greece, this is one big Greek tragedy Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Watchable but very far from being a decent movie 1.6 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/22 Full Review Audience Member Somehow the opposite of entertainment. Unwatchable, even as a hate-watch. Would only subject it to someone I was trying to torture. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review johann m A romantic comedy in which a travel guide leads a peculiar group of tourists through her native Greece and rediscovers her romantic side. The one thing I can possibly admire is the film locations... the beautiful ruins of Athens, the temples, the beaches. But the story is so full with stereotypes and bad taste in comedy. Terrible lines... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Too bad there arnt more movies like this excellent chic flick loved it! Funny, funny, funny!

      Liz Moody Empire Magazine Nia Vardalos is as charming and watchable as ever but this is cliche ridden fluff. Rated: 2/5 Oct 4, 2009 Full Review Nina Caplan Time Out Hollywood doesn't know what to do with difference, any more than it does with ruins. It's about time Vardalos, or someone, gave the suits a guided tour. Rated: 1/5 Oct 4, 2009 Full Review Andrew Pulver Guardian Feels like its been churned out by some auto-plot generator. Rated: 2/5 Oct 4, 2009 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Simple and sweet. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 17, 2020 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Times Let's hope the appealing everywoman Miss Vardalos doesn't wait another five years to make a movie - and let's hope her next one doesn't feature a single souvlaki. Rated: 2/4 Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine Donald Petrie, director of Miss Congeneallity... simply couldn't tie up enough loose threads to create a comedy with substance.
