 My Life in Ruins ended up pretty much in ruins over the weekend after it was clobbered by critics on Friday. "I didn't hate it so much as feel sorry for it," wrote Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times. The film, which stars Nia Vardalos (as a Greek tour guide) in her first movie in five years, was described as "cloying and dated" by Claudia Puig in USA Today. Lou Lumenick in the New York Post called it "a desperate, crass and probably futile attempt at replicating" Vardalos's success with My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And Linda Barnard in the Toronto Star concluded: "If Vardalos was counting on My Life in Ruins as a comeback vehicle, she's taken the wrong tour bus." |
