Eat, Pray, Love is the new film from Julia Roberts. Unfortunately for her, an actress of a certain age, this isn’t the movie that’s going to lift her to the top of Tinseltown again.
In fact, the critics have almost universally derided Eat, Pray, Love. the consensus is that while it’s not a terrible film it leaves a lot to be desired.
It’s always a little sad to see actors who were once the toast of Hollywood struggling to stay at the top. It rarely happens, especially for actresses, most of who are discarded as soon as they hit 40.
Step forward Julia Roberts.
Eat, Pray, Love is a movie based on the book of the same name. But while the book is seen as an emotional, spirit-lifting tome, the film merely looks good. Which doesn’t compare.
