If you are contemplating a vacation in Greece, especially a guided tour, then you will probbably appreciate the recently relesed comedy movie, “My Life In Ruins.”  The title is a pun relating to a tour guide, operating out of Athens, whose life is not as good as she would like it to be.

Amongst the mishaps and mayhem of her latest tour you get to see quite a lot of scenery of the ancient ruins in Greece. This will give you an insight about what you are likely to encounter when you undertake your own tour.  Naturally, when you see these wonders for yourself, you will appreciate them even more.

The movie deals with a lot more than the ancient ruins.  It also shows how the paying members of a tour be so diverse with their varying idiosyncracies, temperaments and social backgrounds.  The only thing that I disliked, being an Australian, was the “over-the-top” ocker image displayed by the actors portraying Australian tourists.  Their accents and beer-swilling images were too exagerated, and their rhyming slang speech is something that has virtually disappeared from the modern vocabulary.  Still it was fun to watch and there were some rib-tickling situations.

Whilst the plot was fairly predictable, it had a few twists in it and was well worth the time to watch it.
