Needed more depth

Good movie, but needed more depth... after having read the book two years ago, I thought my memory would be foggy, but I remember the angst and emotional torture and turmoil the main character (played by Julia Roberts) went through in the book... way more painful than what was portrayed in the movie. In the movie her divorce comes across as an uncomfortable situation, but you don't really get to experience the pain she went through... it was rushed... and you needed to feel that in order to really understand why she takes a year off to find herself. So it almost feels like she just gets a divorce and decides to go on 3 vacations back-to-back... However, Julia Roberts is a great actress, so it still is a good movie... and the guys were so georgeous to look at!! A+ for casting, too, as all the characters looked exactly like I imagined they would look when I read the book. And the scenic shots are spectacular. The food looked amazingly good... I almost fell in love with the food just like the character did in Italy. Now I want to move there! :-)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
