Heartwarming Movie, to Rent
PostedAugust 14, 2010

After reading the book Eat, Pray, Love, I came to the movie theater with hefty expectations. The book was witty, a fun read, and full of the emotional heartbreaks, joys and ironic moments that take your breath away. The movie however, was simply boring, and included very little of the wit and deep emotional highs and lows that made the book fun to read.
I love Julia Roberts, but this was not her finest performance. We rarely got to see in her the deep emotions that the book portrayed, though there were some funny moments here and there. Still, both Julia's performance and the other actors held the plot together well, even though the movie moved at a slow pace.
At movie's end, however, I looked over at my friends, and each of us was either yawning or stretching. Always fun to watch Julia Roberts, but Eat, Pray, Love turned out to be a bit of a snoozer.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Heartwarming, worth the money

I really enjoyed this movie - it was heartwarming and many parts of it felt realistic, even though the premise of the story is an elderly man and a young boy who float away to South America in a balloon-laden house.
I probably won't be purchasing the DVD, but I wouldn't mind watching the movie again - I had fun.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
