About My Life In Ruins, opening in theatres on June 5
From Nia Vardalos, writer and star of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, comes the uplifting comedy My Life in Ruins. Georgia (Nia Vardalos) has lost her kefi (Greek for "mojo"). Discouraged by her lack of direction in life, she works as a travel guide, leading a rag-tag group of tourists as she tries to show them the beauty of 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 love in the process.
My Life in Ruins stars Nia Vardalos, Richard Dreyfuss, María Ádanez, Sheila Bernette, María Botto, Rachel Dratch, Alexis Georgoulis, Ralph Nossek, Bernice Stegers and Harland Williams. Donald Petrie (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Miss Congeniality) directs from a script by Emmy winner Mike Reiss. The film is produced by Michelle Chydzik Sowa and Nathalie Marciano. Executive producers are Jeff Aberly, Julia Blackman, Rita Wilson, Peter Safran, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, with Denise O'Dell and Mark Albela serving as co-producers. 09.04.2009 | Editor's blog Cat. : Alexis Georgoulis Alexis Georgoulis American Express Bernice Stegers Cinema of the United States co-founder DAYS Dell Dell Albela Director Donald Petrie Donald Petrie Emmy executive Films Gary Goetzman Georgia Greek Orthodox Christians Harland Williams Jane Rosenthal Jeff Aberly Julia Blackman María Ádanez MARÍA BOTTO Mark Albela Michelle Chydzik Sowa Mike Reiss Mike Reiss My Big Fat Greek Wedding My Life in Ruins My Life in Ruins Nathalie Marciano Nia Vardalos Nia Vardalos Person Career Peter Safran Quotation Rachel Dratch Ralph Nossek Richard Dreyfuss Rita Wilson Rita Wilson Sheila Bernette the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival the Tribeca Film Festival Tom Hanks travel guide Tribeca Film Festival Tribeca Film Festival writer FILM
