Eat Pray Love


This film is about a Elizabeth (Julia Roberts) who gets divorced and realized that she wants more out of life. She ends up taking a trip around the world to help her discover herself again.

I'm not really sure I liked this film. Some of the messages in the movie are inspiring and somewhat motivating. However, the shallowness of the character(s) immensely cloud the lessons that the film is trying to teach. The highlight of this movie is Richard Jenkins character, Richard, who is a friend that Elizabeth meets on her journey. He isn't in the film long enough, as the rest of the film is either making me yawn or roll my eyes.

The acting was good, and so were some of the lessons learned, but these hardly make up for the long and drawn out 2 hour and 13 minute movie.

Overall Grade: D+
