Review of Eat Pray Love (2010) by Bek S — 09 Oct 2011

Julia 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.
