Disjointed Eat, Pray, Love fumbles the story out.

Well, I can't see the now self-realized Elizabeth Gilbert thinking this movie has the balance she so arduously sought out. The movie's arc seemed out of order, unbalanced, and the transitions between locations were non-existent.
Someone who hadn't read the book would be completely lost and think that the main character possibly suffers from schizophrenia. There were ideas and 'lessons learned' brought up at the wrong time and place. For example, she goes to Italy to lose herself in food and culture and language while wrestling with her demons and ghosts of past relationships. Well, she seemed totally fine (and not physically worn out at all) in Italy, whereas in Bali, she has an unnecessary fight with the one guy she falls in love with and supposedly feels totally comfortable around.
Disappointed in the final product, I have to wonder if the author had any say in the final product or not. What would Swami G say?

Yes, I recommend this movie.
