Movie Review - Eat Pray Love

This movie is based on the best seller "chick-lit" book a few years back by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Its a story of a woman who decides to take a year off to "find herself".

She takes off to Italy, then India and finally ends up in Bali.
Julia Roberts, to me, is believable as the main lead of the movie. I really hated her character at the beginning of the movie, of how she just gave up. But of course, this movie is all about her. Its from her point of view and how we should sympathise with her sad life.

I didn't really like the ending as well. It seemed all too easy. For her to not move to the next level with her boyfriend, and then leave him hanging, and then to wanting him back, its just a bit unbelievavle. How selfish of her, to just decide to want him back. But since this is after all chick-lit, the guy, like a sad puppy is more than happy when she wants him back to move up to the next level of their relationship.
Selfish her!

But then again, there was good flow throughout the film and I think its quite faultless. i just have an issue with the storyline and the selfish main character. Oh well...

My rating : 6.5 / 10 (the extra half a mark was for Julia's portrayal)
