I am still getting over the jet lag from my trip to Greece (Athens is seven hours ahead of Knoxville, so I am okay in the morning, but I get really sleepy right around lunch time!), so today I took it easy and got caught up in terms of school work and normal day activities.  However, I went to the movies and saw the new movie “My Life in Ruins.”  I felt that it would be a fun movie to go and see since I just was in Athens this past week, and I really enjoyed seeing Nia Vardalos in “My Fat Greek Wedding.”

I thoroughly enjoyed “My Life in Ruins” – it was a cute movie and definitely had a lot of humor in it.  I am surprised that the movie critics did not like it – but I never really care what they have to say anyway.  I think that this may be the case due to the fact that some of these people have never been to Greece – that is just my opinion.  I believe that if I saw this movie before heading to Athens, I would have been like – cool, that looks neat.  But, after going to Greece and experiencing the culture a little bit – I found that it was quite charming and I got the humor and jokes from the characters in the movie.

What I found that was neat about this movie is that it definitely highlighted some of the main attractions that Athens and Greece offer to the world, and it was neat to see them and say – WOW!  I’ve been there! 🙂 From the Temple of Posedion to the Acropolis, and even scenes walking around the Plaka – it was all in the movie. So, I would definitely recommend this movie if you want to see a funny, charming, and have a great time! 🙂

Hope you all are having a great day!

Best Wishes,

Karen
