Better than expected

Loved the book, and thought i would hate the movie. Didn't. Julia Roberts was a better Liz Gilbert than i expected as well, but that huge mouth and yarnspool of hair really cracked the illusion at times.Way too much makeup for India and Bali, too! The movie teetered on the neat and even whereas the book was messy, funnier and much more intimate. The message of balance and the fear of losing it in romance once you miraculously gain it in solitude was clear, but the ending was just a little too Hollywood for me. It was beautiful to watch, tender to remember (if you read the book), and generally...nice. Definitely go see it (if only for Javier Bardem--oo la la) and...Enjoy! But read the book if you want to dive inside the whole experience and find out what the magic is all about.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
