sometimes and a in the case of actress or writer nia vardalos and it pay to have good friend such a tom hank and rita wilson . they be instrumental in back her project and that pay big and a be the case with my big fat greek wedding and which the actress write and star in 2002. ala and not have any doubt about her hidden talent and her late film will not add anything to her resume . my life in ruin and direct by daniel petrie and be a movie full of clichés . write for the screen by mike reiss and who have work a lot on television . this film be a rehash of other movie that capitalize on be travelogue where the action be place a an after thought . usually and the plot involve different character from different walk of life and share some moment in a bus and a train and or a jet liner and where the scenery be more important than what be happen within the film . we be grateful we watch the film on a flight and do not have to pay . this film be full of stereotype with a minimum amount of laugh . curiously and some of the exterior that appear in the film be actually of sunny spain instead of the greek location one assume be use .
