Eat Pray Love

This is my 700th movie review. So I had better make it a good one. He only catch to that is I am not sure it was a good movie. I mean it stuck to the book and everything. It also however left a lot of detail out. I cannot tell you too much of that detail in a one-page review but it was noticeable. I can however tell you it was a typical book to movie conversion. The acting was excellent. Julia Roberts lit up the screen as the main character. She is a Pretty Woman through and through and is a good Academy Award winning actress as well. This role was not a difficult one to play however. It could have been played by anyone and been as good. The Script was complicated and did not come across well on the big screen. This is something that of should have been left a book. It is a book story that did not make it well into a movie. It required too much narrating that just got tired and worn out after a while. While the movie was not a bad one it was not a good one either. It was too complicated for the big screen. I would recommend reading this book first and getting the true story of the character. That way you understand what she truly went through. Julia did her best but there is only so much you can do with a substandard plot. Grade C
