A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to "find herself".
What critics thought
Critics largely dismissed the film as a glossy, emotionally hollow travelogue that fails to translate the book's interior journey onto screen — a beautiful package with little inside. The minority who defended it treated it as an unabashedly Julia Roberts showcase, enjoyable on those modest terms. Italian critics were particularly unimpressed, finding its portrayal of Italy cartoonish and its self-improvement message smugly insular.
“Sit, watch, groan. Yawn, fidget, stretch. Eat Snickers, pray for end of dire film about Julia Roberts' emotional growth, love the fact it can't last forever.”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“being trapped with a person of privilege who won't stop with the whine whine whine”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“How many platitudes fit in a two-hour-twenty-minutes-long movie? Several, if Eat Pray Love is anything to go by.”
Curzio Maltese·La Repubblica
“The performances are just too fantastic, the vistas too lovely to pay too much attention to anything else.”
