Eat Pray Love: DVD Review
Eat Pray Love
Rating: M
Released by Sony Home Entertainment
From the incredibly popular book by Elizabeth Gilbert and from the
director who brought us Nip/Tuck and Glee, Ryan Murphy, comes this
cinematic version of Eat, Pray, Love.
Julia Roberts stars as magazine writer Liz Gilbert, who's quite
frankly restless in her married life and decides to split from
hubby and head around the world for a year to find herself
again.
Stopping off in Italy, India and Bali, Gilbert seeks nourishment of
the physical and spiritual kind - as well as emotional healing
too.
Julia Roberts is good as Liz but she can't carry the film which
towards the end begins to sag and feel quite long and drawn
out.
But for a film which should be about soul, there's sadly too much
of this lacking and not enough passion on display.
It's a shame because Roberts does the gamut of emotions well - but
the film takes too long to get to its resolution - and particularly
more so in an extended cut found on this release.
Extras: Directors Cut and Theatrical
version.
Rating: 4/10
