critics consensus
The scenery is nice to look at, and Julia Roberts is as luminous as ever, but without the spiritual and emotional weight of the book that inspired it, Eat Pray Love is too shallow to resonate. Read critic reviews

Mar 11, 2012Looks great. Julia Roberts ist wonderful. And that's it. I switched off mentally somewhere in the praying part of the film and just enjoyed the look of the film. Impossibly trite dialogue.Ina S Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011I was so hoping I would hate this movie, because it was just one of those movies that look bad. But to my surprise Julia Roberts did a phenomenal job, true there are parts that are cliche and dumb, but overall its a solid film and Julia Roberts needed more recognition at the oscars, a very sweet hearted film.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Oct 09, 2011Julia Roberts is Elizabeth Gilbert in a film based on Gilbert's best-selling memoir of the same name.Elizabeth Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.Interesting? Maybe, but the real story is a little boring, making this film boring, boring and boring.Too much melodramatic , the character of Julia Roberts repeats the word "me" at least a thousand times in this movie in a journey through her egocentrism.What makes me give two stars to this movie are the absolute beautiful locations in Rome and Bali, and the always welcome Neil Young songs in a movie.Javier Bardem is always great, but the attempt to act as a brazilian is ridiculous,as his talk , for me that i am a brazilian, sounds like an spanish trying to talk portuguese.Some people says the book is better, but i'm done with this story.Andre T Super Reviewer

Sep 25, 2011A film I've been eagerly anticipating. I'm not a huge fan of Julia Roberts, or of Romantic Dramas in general, but for me, it was the travelling and spiritual journey which was of great interest and is an enlightening true tale. This, I'm sure, will be the first of many watches.Lady D Super Reviewer
