You done know by now boy they call me waka flocka

On my trip up to Portland, Maine last week there was a movie playing with no sound. I resisted at first, but ended up watching a good seventy percent of it. Below is a capsule review:


I Wasn't Sure Of The Title Until I Had IMDB Access

Nia Vardalos lives in Greece and works as a tour guide with a ramshackle bus and a beirdo bus driver. With pressure from her boss's exaggerated gestures, she takes on a motley group of tourists that includes Harland Williams, some fat kid, and no black people. Rounding out the group is Richard Dreyfuss as a magical old man. After a few scenes of awkward but amiable physical comedy from the ensemble, beirdo shaves and is hot and charming all of a sudden - and in love with Nia Vardalos. Will they get together? Meanwhile Richard Dreyfuss teaches everyone to be young again and then has sex with two women at the same time, I think.

Verdict: The most fun movie about a bus trip since The Sweet Hereafter!
