Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy, the power of prayer in India and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.

Simply Perfect
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
I was 18 years old when I read the book and watched the movie and now I see the reason why I liked it. It did have a certain impact on me since I was in a turning point of life myself. Surely I didn't follow any of Elizabeth's advises on self discovering and stuff like this. I just found the idea of having a journey like she did, enchanting. To me it felt like a sort of an adventure in discovering new lands and experiencing different ways of living and enjoying life. Liz had everything: money, good job position, friends, so she seems in a certain point fed up and just quits the job, withdraws the money, breaks up with her husband, hurts everyone around blaming them for her issues and travels. She has the opportunity to escape like that and go to a 'self-discovery' journey which for me it appeared to be 'leave everyone you cared about in your country and get other friends who pat your back constantly and eventually get a new boyfriend.' Unlike Liz there are people out there who instead of escaping, they deal with their own issues perfectly. Lastly, this work is worthless besides the travel destinations.

I really didn't like the book but I swear that I wanted to like the movie, at least a little. The movie version really went for the "Leave no cliché behind" school of storytelling. Seriously, a cold water flat in Rome? Never even heard of that in this century and I'm sure some over-privileged American woman wouldn't live there if they paid her. I half-expected the protagonist to meet an old organ grinder with a monkey.For the life of me I don't understand why people love Julia Roberts so much but then I don't get why people insist on having huge movie stars in their movies. I much prefer the new breed of TV series with no-name actors. I find this helps me to believe in the characters. I wonder how different this movie would have been with an unknown in the lead. Granted, the script is miserable from start to finish but a different lead would have made it less obnoxious, at least for me. Had they used any other actress for the role they probably would have fought the urge to plaster her face across the entire screen for two painfully long hours.The "spirituality" is pure horse manure, just like the book. An ashram in India? Is that what upper-middle class whites do when they think they're too sophisticated to be garden variety Jesus freaks but too stupid to just be atheists? All of the talk in the movie about spirituality or whatever it is made me feel icky. They make it out like just going to India and painting a dot on your forehead will cure anything that ails you.Javier Bardem is charming, as always, but by the time he comes on screen it's like someone trying to bail water out the Titanic with a tea cup. There were no survivors in this disaster.
This is not a new movie so you may ask why I feel the need to review it now. It's because it is a really good foodie movie and anyone who is into food in movies should be sure to see this one. Any who, I get this movie because I understand fully the inner angst one experiences when one does not have a defined personal path to peace and happiness. It's funny because no matter how far we travel by plane train or car, we never leave the ballast of our own brains. So until we learn how to find inner peace and lightness, we do the next best thing eat! And eat our main character does in this post card from peace-of-mind movie. If you have read any of my reviews, you know that I love food and cinematography, this movie is teeming with both. Julia Roberts with those signature pucker-face lips of hers, wields them artfully around Italian language and food. She travels to paradise in Bali and the opposite in India but also destinations lead back to her inner world. Let's talk food. The food scenes in Italy were the delectable creations of food stylist Susan Spungen. There is nothing in the big food scene that I would not eat. As a matter of fact, I want all of it right now. This is a testament to the food styling genius that is Susan Spungen. I hope to see much, much more of her delicious work in films. Heck, I would like to see her work in person, Lol.
