Overall the movie was cute, but compared to the book you don't even begin to feel what Liz Gilbert is going through or what prompts her to make this journey. The characters portrayals of the ex-husband and the new love, Phillipe, were both wrong and it just made the premise of the everything very selfish on Liz(Julia's) part. I wish they would stop making movies from best selling books, because they never match up to the great books.
