For any woman who is a little off kilter and needs balance, Eat Pray Love will give you a pleasant, comfortable ride for a little over 2 hours. Definitely go see it, enjoy it without guilt and you may end up finding some of the balance that Julia Roberts' character, Liz Gilbert seeks and ultimately finds, as if we didn't expect it. Take a few tissues but be prepared to laugh and sigh, especially when Javier Bardem is on screen - that alone is worth the experience! I found it a delightful escape and a sweet journey through the tastes of Italy, the inner peace of India and the soul searching of Bali. It inspired me to seek more balance in my own life. We all need it.
What made this movie enjoyable was to watch the well-known actors out of their comfort zones. Brad was a scream! This was a Coen gem with understated humor, not silly slapstick and not meant to be uproarous!. The funniest part of the movie was the scene at the end with the JD Hayworth trying to comprehend the past events as decribed in muted "ahem" terms by one of his agents. Worth seeing once but not really a repeat.
