So I haven't read the book, that being said- I enjoyed it! Beautiful scenery and you could really feel the emotions through the characters that they were trying to convey.
One of the things that I really enjoy about Julia Roberts, is how she's able to make you feel what she's "feeling." For this reason, I'm always up for seeing one of her flicks.
I agree with other reviewers that it wasn't really clear when she went from one place to the next. But that was alright.
Overall, I'd go see it again. It spoke to me and made me think about my own life. I don't go to see movies to determine if their prize-worthy or not, I go for entertainment and that's it.
