It’s All Greek To Me Sunday
on Mar 28 in General by DanIt’s been a long time suince I’ve done one of these, so here’s a reminder of how it works:
I’ve taken a short film synopsis from imdb.com and fed it into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English. The resulting gobbledygook is posted below. Your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.
It’s another easy peasy one today:
[character] is acquired the work should receive a empty work – and the easier way are wed one American [character] is New Yorker that is intense horticulturalist and found precisely the perfect level with his greenhouse. Unfortunately the level is for the wedded pairs only. A marriage of facility appears also the ideal solution in the two problems. In order to they convince the superior employees of immigration they are wedded for the love, it should they are moved in the one with the other. As combined badly effort of pairs to face the life together, they begin to fall.
The last winner of this contest (all the way back in August last year) was Laura from the blog Are we Nearly There Yet Mummy?. She’s had a busy week it seems. Her husband is twinkling, her dog hasn’t been sick, and she has unruley eyebrows. She also has a tendency to take Go Go hamsters into work with her. It takes all sorts it seems.

@notSupermum, and you weren’t the last either.
You could do a more advanced level of this where you run classic film dialogue through the Babble Fish wringer, and have readers guess what it is.
