Eat Pray Love

Chick Flick, Romance
4 stars
Loved it! Julia Roberts stars in the Elizabeth Gilbert memoir of spending a year traveling through Italy, India and Bali after a nasty divorce and a toxic rebound relationship. Thankfully, Gilbert’s neuroses are in it, but not harped on, like in the book. Some small changes were made, mostly in Bali, and of course Javier Bardem’s character is 20 years younger than the book’s character, but the core story is intact. Loved the scenery and her experiences, but why oh why was the Pretty Woman dressed in the ugliest clothes? I kept waiting for her wardrobe to bloom much like her self-fulfillment did. Anyway, loved it, and husbands/boyfriends should like it too.
