Although I had thought about travelling to Italy before I saw Eat, Pray, Love....the desire has turned to MUST GO. The scenery, shooting, camera angles and timing in this movie truly present the places that Liz travels to in an amazing light. I did not read the book, so cannot compare but thought the story was amazing and poignant, although a younger viewer (21 and younger), may not appreciate it and not be able to relate to it.
