Inspiringly Surprised!
PostedAugust 15, 2010

from Arlington,VA
I, like many, read the book and was moved with every turned page. Her writing, so personal and relate-able. I didn't want the book to end.
So it brought me a little discomfort when I heard a movie was being made as we all know the odds of the movie living up to the book are slim. So when it came to coordinating a movie day with my girlfriends - I kept my enthusiasm low.
I was so gratefully surprised. Is it just like the book? No. Are some areas of the book drawn out to 'give good movie'? Absolutely. I would've liked the moment in the bathroom when she heard "Go back to bed Liz" to be more pronounced.. But really.. the Movie did the same as the book..It inspired me. And that's all I could've asked for!
Loved the visuals... Italy, India and Bali had their own wardrobe.. it's own feel. LOVED the beauty that is Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem, and left thinking I was really living IN her life - if only for a few hours.
Bravo. Job well done!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
