The writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Nia Vardalos, goes to Greece in this uplifting comedy about a girl seeking her kefi (mojo).
Georgia works as a travel guide, leading a rag-tag group of tourists across her native Greece while waiting to land her dream job. Opening their eyes to an exotic foreign land, she too begins to see things in new ways, finding her kefi and possibly even love in the process.
Did you know… the song Georgia sings on the beach is Never on Sunday, the only Greek Oscar-winning song from the movie Pote tin Kyriaki (1960). My Life in Ruins also the first Hollywood film to be given permission to shoot at the Acropolis since Boy on a Dolphin (1957).
