i liked the movie, but then, i can tolerate julia roberts pretty well. her face, close up (the lip, the lip! we get it already!) dominates practically every scene. i do think they did a great job of getting the resemblance down. all that aside, i enjoyed the movie, the premise, the beautiful settings. i happened to sit next to a woman who read the book who told me it did not follow the book too closely. so if you read the book, you might be slightly disappointed. good movie, not a great movie. great idea- im packing my bags!
