    All of the performances are knockouts, especially The Visitor's Richard Jenkins as a damaged Texas spiritualist who steeps the movie in intimacy.

    A beautiful, languid travelogue, although with some of the source novel's empowerment diluted.

    Director Ryan Murphy achieved a major casting coup in landing Julia Roberts to play Gilbert - or Liz, as she's called here. As it turns out, though, a lesser star may have been a better choice.

    A very shallow, very glossy 2½-hour travelogue starring a miscast Julia Roberts as a spoiled, self-centered divorcée who decides to get away from it all.

    Tiresome plot made worse by Julia Roberts traditionally minimal acting. Roberts has always gotten by with smiles and wistful looks and not much else.It doesn't appear that's going to get her by anymore More of the same here with the cameras panning to Roberts who always has that phony looking serene smile.… Expand

    Had heard about the book, but never read it. Thought it was a very good movie. Many people who go see the movie may not enjoy it for the fact they are not or have never been at a point in their lives where it is time to move along to something more. Julia Roberts was excellent along with the rest of the cast. Very insightful, beautiful locales. Left the theater with a smile on my face. Will be buying the book to get the more detailed version. Go see it.… Expand

    The movie has a lovely, honest performance from Julia Roberts, but except that "Eat Pray Love" has nothing new or nothing bad to offer; its just bland.… Expand

    Disjointed and hard to get into. You don't get a chance to know/like Liz before the drama starts, so it's hard to care as much about her journey as you should.
